## Description

Entering the property, you're welcomed into a spacious entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor and a door opening into the main living areas. The lounge/diner is a generously sized room, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Double French doors lead directly from the lounge to the rear garden. Adjacent to the lounge is the kitchen/breakfast room, which features a range of fitted units, an integrated oven and hob, a built-in fridge/freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine. There is ample space for a table and chairs, making it a perfect spot for casual dining. A useful understairs cupboard provides additional storage, and a side door offers convenient access to the outside. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, comprising a WC and wash hand basin, and a versatile family room/office—currently used as a bedroom but easily adaptable to suit a variety of needs. Upstairs, the main bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms, with the third featuring a built-in cupboard. The family bathroom includes a bath with a fitted shower and shower screen, a vanity wash hand basin, a low-level WC, and a built-in storage cupboard. Outside, the rear garden is a standout feature. Measuring approximately 100ft in length, it widens from 26ft to 43ft at its broadest point. A large patio area near the house is perfect for outdoor entertaining, with the remainder of the garden laid to lawn. A large outbuilding is located near the end of the garden, offering excellent storage or potential for a workshop or studio. To the front, the garden is laid to lawn, and a driveway provides off-road parking.
