Step inside and you’re instantly met with that unmistakable feeling of a real family home. You can almost picture school bags dropped in the hallway, homework spread out on the dining table, and cartoons playing in the lounge. The open plan lounge diner makes everyday life feel easy, with space for everyone to do their own thing while still being together. The separate kitchen looks out over the rear garden, and the conservatory has become the perfect home for toys - though the space is flexible enough to suit whatever your family needs. It’s one of those homes where you can immediately imagine how you’d live in it. For anyone working from home, the garden office is a brilliant bonus. With UPVC doors and a peaceful outlook, it’s a proper escape from the bustle of family life. The south facing garden backs onto fields too, giving you that lovely sense of privacy and open space. Upstairs, the extension has created three double bedrooms - a real rarity in this area along with a smartly refitted family bathroom. This is a home that feels lived in, loved and ready for its next chapter. I’d love to show you around so you can get a true feel for it — just drop me a message. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176199) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176200) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176201) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176202) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176203) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176204) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176205) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176206) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176207) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176208) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176209) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176210) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176211) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176212) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176213) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176214) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176215) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176216) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176217) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176218) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176219) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176220) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176221) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176222) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89985588/1176223) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/89985588/1176224) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/89985588/1176225) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
