The extension leads into a stunning bespoke kitchen, re-fitted in 2020 to a high specification.

The spacious master bedroom enjoys garden views, fitted wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room. A modern four-piece family bathroom completes the first floor and includes a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, and wash hand basin.

External Features
To the front, the property benefits from ample off-road parking and a larger-than-average detached single garage, built in 2007. The garage includes power, lighting, water, and a utility area with a sink and drainer—ideal for a variety of uses.

The beautifully landscaped rear garden offers privacy and a peaceful outdoor retreat. A newly designed patio area provides ample space for entertaining, while the mature garden is filled with established greenery.

Seller’s Comments
The current owners purchased the property in 2006 and undertook a full renovation in 2007, including the construction of the two-storey extension, which nearly doubled the size of the home. The garage, also built in 2007, was designed to be larger than standard and thoughtfully integrated with utilities to accommodate a variety of practical needs.
