Description

This stunning family home has been meticulously decorated by the current owners and is situated in a sought-after area known for its reputable schools.

Upon entering, you'll step into a spacious hallway adorned with hardwood flooring. The main reception room is located at the front of the house and features a bay window that fills the space with natural light. Adding to its charm, this room includes an electric fireplace, making it a cosy focal point, particularly during the colder months.

Towards the back of the house, you'll find an impressive open-plan kitchen equipped with underfloor heating. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with integral access to the garage. The generously sized dining room, also connected to the kitchen, offers ample space for dining furniture and even a sofa, making it versatile as both a dining area and a potential playroom. A downstairs WC is also situated on the ground floor.

To the first floor, you'll find five bedrooms, four of which are doubles, with the smallest currently serving as a study. The main bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, while a second family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Conveniently, there's a staircase leading up to the loft room, ensuring easy access, along with Velux windows that provide additional natural light.

Externally, the rear garden features a seating area perfect for al fresco dining, with the rest of the space laid to lawn. At the front of the property, there is off-street parking available for three vehicles. EPC: C. Council Tax Band: F
