Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a generously sized entrance hall, providing a warm and welcoming first impression. This wide hallway offers ample space for coats and shoes, and features a staircase leading to the first floor. Conveniently located off the entrance hall is a downstairs WC—perfect for guests and everyday practicality. At the rear of the hallway lies a separate kitchen, fitted with a range of modern units and integrated appliances, overlooking the rear garden. This bright and functional space is ideal for preparing meals while enjoying a view of the outdoors.
The heart of the home lies in the expansive living area, accessed via double doors from the hallway. This impressive space features a large bay window that floods the room with natural light, enhancing the feeling of space and warmth. Adjoining the lounge is a distinct dining area, perfectly positioned to the rear of the property with direct access to the beautifully landscaped rear garden—ideal for alfresco dining, summer gatherings, or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three generous bedrooms, all well-proportioned and thoughtfully laid out.

The principal bedroom also enjoys the added luxury of a private en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms with a modern suite.
Externally, the rear garden has been landscaped to offer a low-maintenance yet attractive outdoor space, perfect for relaxation and play. At the end of the garden lies a private garage with an up-and-over door, along with allocated parking for one vehicle, providing both security and convenience.
