## Description

The property has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment by the current owners, finished to a high standard throughout. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a downstairs cloakroom, and a bright sitting room opening through to a dining area with a refitted kitchen off. The kitchen features sleek quartz worksurfaces, a comprehensive range of wall and base units, and integrated appliances.

Upstairs offers three well-proportioned bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes, with Bedrooms 1 and 3 benefitting having been recently fitted, together with a stylish family bathroom. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a raised decked entertaining area, lawn, and side access.

The garage has been part converted and extended to create a versatile garden room with power and bi-fold doors — currently used as a bar and gaming room but equally ideal as a home office, gym, or studio. The front section of the garage retains its up-and-over door, providing useful storage space.
