The garage has been split to now offer a storage space to the front, however the back is now a fantastic "Bootility" - a mix of a boot room and utility. Here, the space has been cleverly thought out and now offers a wine rack, more storage, space for washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a Belfast style sink.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms - most featuring fitted wardrobes and storage. The master bedroom enjoys the bay window feature which provides a lot of natural light. The house bathroom completes the layout and this room features an oval, roll top bath, separate shower cubicle and sink.
The loft has been altered and insulated and now offers a useful storage/work space and this is accessed via a pull down ladder.
Externally the house features a lawned garden to the front with double gates that provide and off street parking spot for a small car. The rear garden is family friendly and set up with ease of maintenance in mind with both paved areas for entertaining and dining in warmer weather and artificial grass for playing with children/pets.
