Double glazing, coupled with a gas-fired central heating system powered by an efficient Worcester Bosch boiler installed approximately five years ago (with the remainder of a twelve-year manufacturer's warranty), ensures year-round comfort.
The gardens, featuring a lovely summer house, are well tended and the rear elevation of the house has received a fresh coat of render in recent years.

The property's front entrance, marked by twin leaf storm doors, opens into a private vestibule with an original terrazzo-tiled floor. A welcoming reception hallway, complete with under-stair storage, provides access to all ground floor rooms, including a guest toilet.
The elegant formal lounge boasts a period fireplace and a broad bay window overlooking the front garden.

The adjacent kitchen which gives direct access to the rear garden has been extensively re-fitted and features under pelmet and kickboard lighting, along with a range of integral appliances.

The upper levels of the property reveal a well-appointed three-piece family bathroom on the half landing with the main upper landing leading to three bedrooms. The very spacious main bedroom features a bay window, shower and sink unit, the second bedroom has been fitted out with office furnishing and presently functions as a bedroom/office with the third bedroom displaying a period fireplace.
A fixed stair from the upper landing grants access to a double-sized bedroom with connecting study/sitting area, along with ample fitted and eaves storage area.

Outside and to the front, there is an easily maintained front garden which is enclosed by perimeter walling and wrought-iron fencing.
