## Description

Searching for the ideal family home in a great location? With excellent nearby amenities, schooling, recreational grounds - even walks along the river? Then look no further than this charming and cosy 3-bed on Chatford Drive!

The property is very well presented with well-proportioned rooms that have been decorated in light neutral tones that keep the home feeling lovely and light. 

And who doesn't love a log burner? The living room is spacious and bright thanks to the dual windows that allow loads of light to flood in during the day. However, at night you can draw the curtain and get toasty and warm by the crackling log fire!

A real standout feature of this home is the kitchen which provides loads of space for entertaining friends and family. 

And when the weather permits (and it will get warmer and drier - we promise!) - then swing open the patio doors and let the good times spill out into the fabulous rear garden which has been landscaped to keep it low maintenance but still extremely attractive! And the best bit is that you can enjoy your soirees undercover on the decked patio area - come rain or shine!

Another standout feature is the **large timber outbuilding** at the bottom of the garden. It is fully **insulated with electric and windows.** It is separated into two sections and this provides the potential for a workshop, hobby room, home office / studio - you get the idea!

**In brief the property comprises of:**Entrance hall, living room, kitchen diner, side storage room, 3 bedrooms, family bathroom. Rear garden with large, insulated outbuilding. Driveway parking for 2-3 cars.

**Location! Location! Location!**
