Description
The property is entered via the front lounge, a comfortable reception room with space for everyday living. From here, three steps lead up to a raised dining/sitting area, creating a slightly separate yet open feel between the spaces. Beyond this is an additional dining area, making the ground floor layout versatile and well suited to family life or entertaining.
A further two steps lead into a generously sized fitted kitchen, which offers a range of white wall and base units, an electric oven and hob with extractor hood over, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a dining table. The kitchen provides direct access to a useful utility room/pantry for extra storage, along with a ground floor WC. A rear door leads out to the garden.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and offers a good amount of space. The second bedroom is also well proportioned and benefits from an original fireplace, adding a touch of character. The third bedroom is a smaller single room, ideal for use as a child’s bedroom, nursery, dressing room or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower attachment over, wash basin and WC. There is also access to attic space, providing additional storage.
Externally, the property has a rear garden which is currently in need of attention but offers clear potential to be transformed into an enjoyable outdoor space with some landscaping and care.
Overall, this is a solid, well-laid-out home with plenty of scope for improvement, making it a practical choice for buyers wanting to add their own style and value over time.
