Description
The property has benefited from a number of important upgrades in recent years, including a new boiler installed in 2022, which has been serviced, a new bathroom in 2023, and rewiring and new windows completed in 2024. These improvements provide valuable peace of mind while complementing the home's comfortable and contemporary living spaces.
Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the principal rooms and stairs rising to the first floor. To the rear of the property, the comfortable lounge provides a lovely place to relax, complete with a log burner creating a warm and inviting focal point.
To the front, the fitted kitchen offers a practical and well-appointed space, with access through to the separate dining room. Perfect for family meals and entertaining, the dining room benefits from a conservatory extension overlooking the rear garden, creating a bright and versatile additional living space.
Upstairs, the property offers three good-sized bedrooms, providing plenty of flexibility for family living, guests or a home office. The landing benefits from loft access, while the modern bathroom, replaced in 2023, is finished with contemporary fixtures and fittings.
Externally, the property boasts a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles, with gated side access leading through to the rear garden.
The fully enclosed rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a great balance of entertaining and lawned space. Featuring an imprinted concrete area, lawn and a decked seating area, it is perfectly suited to outdoor dining, entertaining friends and family, or simply relaxing during the warmer months.
Located within a popular residential area, the property is well placed for local amenities, schools and transport links, making it an ideal choice for families and first-time buyers alike.
With its generous accommodation, excellent outdoor space and extensive programme of recent improvements, this is a home that deserves to be viewed. Early viewing is highly recommended.
