## Description

Upon entering via the dedicated entrance hall, stairs lead to the first floor while a door opens into the bright front reception room. Featuring a lovely double glazed bay window and decorative fireplace, this space connects through double doors into a second generous reception room perfect as a dining room or secondary lounge. This central living space also provides access to a handy understairs storage cupboard.

To the rear of the ground floor, the property opens into a modern kitchen fitted with sleek high-gloss units, wood-effect work surfaces, and integrated appliances including an electric hob, oven, and extractor. A separate utility room extends off the middle reception room, providing extra worktop space, fitted storage, plumbing for a washing machine, and direct outdoor access.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two double bedrooms and an exceptionally large family bathroom. The main bedroom spans the full width of the front of the property, providing impressive floor space, while the second double room overlooks the rear. The vast four-piece bathroom features a standalone corner shower enclosure, wood-panelled bath, low-level WC, and wash basin with vanity storage.

Outside, the property benefits from a low-maintenance artificial turf courtyard with steps to the rear lane. Beyond lies off-road parking leading to a detached single garage and a private, paddock-style garden with a wooden deck and artificial lawn enclosed by mature hedging.
