The Approach

The property is approached via an attractive frontage, with established landscaped gardens, colourful planting and a gated block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for three vehicles. From here, access is given to the garage via double grey doors, while a separate small grey door provides secure side access into a side courtyard, continuing through to the rear garden. A covered arched porch creates a welcoming entrance to the home, with a composite front door opening into the reception hallway. The hallway is bright and well presented, finished with engineered oak flooring and provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation, along with a staircase rising to the first floor. A particularly attractive feature is the illuminated display alcove, set above useful built-in storage cupboards, adding both character and practicality to the space.

Kitchen & Dining Room

Positioned to the rear of the property, the kitchen and dining room form a bright and practical living space, with both areas enjoying direct access to the rear garden terrace. The two rooms are linked by an attractive opening with twin stained-glass doors while durable Karndean flooring runs throughout. The kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units, complemented with dark work surfaces and bold coloured splashbacks. There is space for a range-style cooker beneath an extractor hood, space and plumbing for a dishwasher, integrated fridge/freezer, and a gas boiler concealed within matching cabinetry. The adjoining dining room offers generous space for a family dining table and is well suited to both day-to-day use and entertaining. Double-glazed French doors open onto the rear patio, creating an easy flow between the house and garden, while the room is enhanced by a chandelier-style light fitting.

Living Room

Accessed from the reception hallway, the living room is a well-presented and inviting reception space, positioned at the front of the property. A large front-facing double-glazed window allows for good natural light, complemented by an additional side-aspect double-glazed window. Laid with carpet, the room offers generous proportions for both relaxation and entertaining, comfortably accommodating a range of freestanding furniture. The central focal point is an attractive fireplace set within a decorative surround and housing a gas-fired stove, creating a warm and characterful feature in the room.

Ground Floor Bedrooms & Shower Room

The principal ground floor bedroom is a generous double room positioned at the rear of the property, enjoying direct access to the garden terrace via double-glazed French doors. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, positioned at the front of the property with a double-glazed window overlooking the frontage. This room also benefits from built-in wardrobes. The third ground floor bedroom, currently arranged as a study, offers further versatility and could be used as an additional bedroom if required. Serving the ground floor is a stylish modern shower room finished to a high standard. The suite comprises a vanity unit incorporating a concealed cistern WC, wash basin, drawers, cupboards and countertop space, complemented by a tiled splashback. There is a separate shower enclosure with a glass screen, mains-fed shower and tiled surround. A wall-mounted heated towel rail completes the room, while the decorative stained-glass window adds appeal.

First Floor Bedrooms

The first floor accommodation comprises two further bedrooms and a bathroom, arranged around a bright landing area. Natural light is drawn in via a Velux-style roof window, while a decorative internal stained-glass feature panel adds character to the space. The principal first floor bedroom is a generous double room, offering ample space for freestanding furniture and benefitting from a built-in wardrobe. This wardrobe also provides access through to a substantial eaves storage area, with an additional loft hatch offering further useful storage. The second bedroom is well presented and is currently arranged as a nursery/child's bedroom, although it could also be used as a guest room or study. The room is irregular in shape due to its roofline. However, it makes efficient use of the space with a Velux-style roof window, fitted storage following the contours of the sloping ceiling, and built-in shelving.

Bathroom

Serving this level is a contemporary bathroom, thoughtfully designed to work with the shape of the room. The suite comprises a large vanity unit with wash basin and cupboards beneath, tiled splashback and a concealed cistern WC. A Velux-style roof window provides natural light above the vanity area, while the bath is neatly set within the sloping roofline, featuring a central mixer tap with handheld shower attachment, tiled surround and a decorative stained-glass window. A wall-mounted heated towel rail completes the room.

A Garden Beyond Expectation

The south-facing rear garden is a true highlight of the property, extending to a generous size and beautifully arranged to provide a series of attractive outdoor spaces. Immediately adjoining the property is a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to the main garden. From here, the garden opens onto a broad, well-maintained lawn, framed by mature planting, established shrubs, specimen trees and colourful borders. The garden design creates several distinct areas to enjoy, including raised seating terraces, gravelled areas, landscaped beds and peaceful corners positioned to make the most of the surroundings. A decorative pond provides an attractive focal point, while the combination of palm trees, mature greenery and carefully maintained planting gives the garden a private and almost Mediterranean feel.

Garden Room, Utility & Store

Set within the garden is a versatile garden room, currently arranged as a gym. This provides useful additional space away from the main accommodation and could suit a variety of purposes, including exercise, hobbies or a quiet retreat, depending on the needs of the new owner. The garden also provides access to two further outbuildings, both benefitting from power and lighting. The first is arranged as a practical utility outbuilding, incorporating space for laundry appliances along with a WC, offering excellent convenience when using the garden or entertaining outside. In addition, there is a separate garden store, providing useful space for tools, garden equipment and general storage.

Garage

Adding to the convenience of the layout is the garage, which is accessed by double doors from the front driveway or via a rear courtesy door with access from the rear courtyard. The garage benefits from power and lighting and offers a highly practical space, currently arranged to provide storage, workshop and utility use. There is fitted storage, shelving and work surface space, along with room for freestanding appliances, making the area particularly useful for household overflow and day-to-day practicality. A low-height access hatch also leads through to a substantial under-house storage area, providing valuable additional space beyond the main garage itself.
