Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The property also benefits from a versatile gym/studio, providing useful additional space for exercise, hobbies or home working. Outside, the well-presented rear garden offers an attractive setting for relaxing and entertaining, while the large driveway provides ample off-street parking and is accessed via electric gates.

A composite entrance door opens into the reception hallway, with a staircase to the first floor, tiled flooring and doors leading to the sitting room and open-plan living dining kitchen.
The sitting room features a bay window to the front with fitted shutter blinds, providing a bright and comfortable separate reception space.
The open-plan living dining kitchen is a particular feature of the property, offering a well-planned space for cooking, dining and relaxing. The kitchen is fitted with a range of preparation surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap and complementary splashback surround. There is a range of base cupboards and drawers, together with matching wall-mounted units, an integrated double electric oven and grill, four-ring gas hob with extractor above, integrated fridge freezer and integrated dishwasher. A matching island provides additional storage and incorporates retractable electrical sockets. Velux roof windows provide further natural light, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the rear garden. The living area also features a fireplace with inset log burner and stone hearth.
The utility room is fitted with a range of storage cupboards, including appliance space and plumbing for a washing machine and separate tumble dryer. The combination boiler is also located here. A composite door provides access to the side of the property, with a further door leading into the ground floor shower room.
The shower room has tiled flooring and is fitted with a wall-hung wash hand basin with chrome mixer tap, low-level WC and a walk-in shower with chrome mains-fed rainfall shower head.
The first-floor landing provides access to the loft via a hatch and has doors leading to the three bedrooms and family bathroom.
Bedroom one is a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and integrated drawer storage. Bedroom two is also a good-sized double bedroom, while bedroom three is a generous single room with useful eaves storage.
The modern family bathroom has tiled flooring and is fitted with a wall-hung wash hand basin with chrome mixer tap and vanity drawers beneath, low-level WC and a P-shaped bath with chrome mixer tap and mains-fed rainfall shower above.

The studio/gym provides a versatile additional space with power and lighting, suitable for use as a gym, home office, hobby room or studio. The vendor advises that a doorway could be installed to create direct access through to the utility room, if required.
To the front, the property is set well back from the road and benefits from a substantial tarmac driveway providing ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, with access via electric gates.
