## Description

The heart of the home is its bright and airy living space, designed to maximize the stunning views over the local landscape. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned, offering plenty of room for storage and comfort. Outside, the property truly shines with a large, private garden a blank canvas for gardeners or a perfect spot for alfresco dining while soaking in the scenery.

The garage features an integrated ladder providing access to a spacious loft area. The loft is fully boarded throughout and offers ample storage capacity.

With a substantial private driveway and a location that feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet remains within walking distance to local amenities, early viewing is highly recommended.
