## Description

The accommodation begins with a welcoming and spacious entrance hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful built-in storage beneath, alongside a separate utility cupboard housing the boiler.

From the hallway, the property opens into a well-proportioned living and dining area, offering ample space for a range of furnishings and a family dining table. Double doors provide direct access to the rear garden, allowing for excellent natural light and indoor-outdoor flow.

The kitchen is accessed via an open archway from the living area and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces over. Integrated appliances include a hob and eye-level oven, with additional space for further appliances such as a tall fridge/freezer and washing machine.

To the first floor are three bedrooms comprising a generous principal bedroom with space for wardrobes and a dressing area, a comfortable double bedroom and a well-sized single bedroom. The accommodation is completed by a modern bathroom fitted with a panelled bath and shower over, wash hand basin and low-level WC. The landing also benefits from a useful alcove above the stairwell.

Externally, the property enjoys an attractive front lawn with a pathway leading to the entrance. Subject to the necessary consents, this area could be converted into off-road parking if desired. The rear garden is a particular feature, offering a large decked seating area ideal for summer entertaining, along with a pathway leading to the rear of the garden. There is a further section laid with decorative chippings, in addition to a highly useful garden storage cupboard. A rear gate provides access to a pathway leading around to the front of the property.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, condition and lifestyle on offer.
