The Approach

The property is approached via an attractive block-paved driveway, with steps rising to the side of the house where the main entrance is located. A secure timber gate also provides convenient access to the garden. Entry is gained through a double glazed side door with decorative glazed inserts, opening onto a welcoming entrance hallway. This space is finished with wood-effect vinyl click flooring and accesses a useful cloakroom, ideally positioned for day-to-day convenience. A carpeted staircase with a white painted balustrade rises to the first floor, while practical storage is available beneath. The hallway is further complemented by a central heating radiator.

Cloakroom

Positioned just off the entrance hallway, the cloakroom is fitted in a contemporary style and finished with tiled walls and flooring. It comprises a wall mounted wash hand basin and a low level WC. An obscured double glazed window to the side provides natural light, while a central heating radiator is fitted below.

Lounge/diner

A spacious open-plan lounge/diner, finished with wood-effect vinyl click flooring, provides excellent family living and entertaining space. The dining area offers ample room for a family-sized table and is illuminated by a double-glazed window to the front aspect, with a radiator below. The lounge area is equally inviting and benefits from a recently installed log burner, set on a slate hearth with a timber mantel above, creating an attractive focal point in the room. A further double glazed window to the front aspect allows plenty of natural light to fill the space, with an additional radiator beneath.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room continues the wood-effect vinyl click flooring from the entrance hall, creating a cohesive finish to the ground floor. Fitted with a range of matching wall and base units, the kitchen is complemented by square-edge work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A breakfast bar runs along one wall, providing useful informal dining space. Set beneath a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden is a stainless steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and inset gas hob with an extractor hood above. There is also under-counter space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and further room for a freestanding fridge freezer. An obscure double-glazed door opens directly onto the rear garden.

Bedrooms & Bathroom

The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and offers generous double accommodation, with a double glazed window, radiator and fitted carpet. Built-in storage includes triple wardrobes and an additional single wardrobe, providing excellent practicality. Bedroom two is another spacious double room and enjoys an outlook onto the rear garden. It features a double-glazed window, radiator, fitted carpet and ample space for freestanding bedroom furniture. The third bedroom is also located at the front of the property. It is a comfortable double room, complete with fitted carpet, radiator and a double-glazed window. Serving the bedrooms is a stylish family bathroom equipped with a contemporary white three-piece suite, comprising a wash hand basin with mirror over, close-coupled WC, and a bath with a glazed shower screen. The room is finished with fully tiled walls and flooring, and benefits from an obscured double-glazed window and a radiator.

A Garden to Enjoy

The rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to provide an attractive and easy-to-maintain outdoor space. Immediately to the rear of the property is a level patio area, ideal for everyday use, which can be accessed directly from the kitchen and via a secure gated side entrance. There is also access to a useful internal storage area from this part of the garden. A short flight of steps leads to a lawned area, offering a pleasant area for families and children to enjoy. To the rear, a further elevated paved patio provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, making it particularly well suited to hosting family and friends during the warmer months.
