Set back from the road by an enclosed garden and brick set driveway, this attractive looking home offers accommodation that would appeal to any family buyer and also to a couple who are looking for a home that they can grow into.
There is stepped access into the hallway which has a staircase with useful storage beneath and doors to the kitchen and to each of the two reception rooms.
There is a bay fronted lounge that has a central fireplace as the main focal point with a wood effect finish to the fire surround and an electric fire set upon a low-level hearth.
The slightly larger family room/dining room has sliding patio doors accessing the garden and a matching fire surround an electric fire.
The kitchen offers plenty of fitted cupboards and drawers with a work surface area above incorporating a single drainer sink and also a gas hob which has a concealed cooker hood above. There is an integrated oven and space for a washing machine, dishwasher and clothes dryer. There is also room at the end of the worktop for an upright fridge freezer. The side bay window provides lots of natural light and also ample space for a breakfast table. A side access door leads towards the garage and also to the rear garden.
The landing has a large window to the gable wall which lets lots of natural light into the stairwell. There are doors leading to each of the three bedrooms which includes two double rooms and a single bedroom that is currently used as a study.
The bathroom is separate to the WC and is finished with a three-piece suite that includes a Jacuzzi style bath with shower attachment to the taps, a pedestal wash hand basin and a quadrant shape shower enclosure with a mixer shower installed within. This room has a tiled finish to the walls around the sanitary ware.
The front garden area has been landscaped to reduce the overall maintenance and finished with decorative stone chippings that compliment the colour of the brick set driveway. There is mature planting to the border providing privacy from the neighbouring garden.
The rear garden provides a private patio space adjacent to the house with a pergola providing dappled shade. There is an external sink mounted to the rear wall and a short run of steps alongside the ornamental pond, leading to the main garden area that is mainly laid to grass with mature planting to the borders.
