Also on this level is the third bedroom, currently utilised as a home office, highlighting the flexibility of the accommodation. A handy laundry cupboard is also located off the landing. To the top floor are the principal and guest bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys the added luxury of upgraded en-suite shower facilities, whilst the guest bedroom is served by a beautifully appointed family Bathroom. The Bathroom features a three-piece white suite, including an elegant roll-top ball-and-claw bath, continuing the tasteful styling evident throughout the home. The property is connected to all mains services and further benefits from double glazing and gas central heating. Externally, the home enjoys an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden, predominantly laid with porcelain paving and enhanced by outside lighting and power points. Gated access leads to the side and onwards to a nearby garage block, where the property benefits from a single garage with up-and-over door, power and lighting, as well as the ability to park directly in front.
