As you step into the home, a bright entrance hall greets you, featuring a built-in storage cupboard that provides a practical space for coats and shoes.

This bright, airy space features a stylish wallpapered chimney breast, soft carpet underfoot, and bi-folding doors that open directly onto the rear garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection.

Just off the lounge, a small inner lobby leads into the kitchen, a real highlight of the home. This sleek, high-specification space is fitted with gloss-finish cabinetry and generous worktop areas, offering both function and style. A full suite of integrated appliances includes twin ovens, a 5-ring induction hob with extractor, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer.

Whether you're preparing everyday meals or entertaining guests, this kitchen delivers on both practicality and presentation.

The dining room enjoys a peaceful garden outlook and offers excellent flexibility, ideal as a formal dining area, secondary reception space, snug, home office, or fourth bedroom, depending on your lifestyle.

Toward the front of the home, you’ll find two ground-floor bedrooms. One is a generous double with plenty of natural light, while the other is a more compact but versatile space, perfect as a nursery, study, or child’s bedroom, complete with built-in storage. Both rooms are finished with soft carpeting.

Completing the ground floor is a beautifully appointed shower room. This stylish space features sleek floor and wall tiling, a large walk-in enclosure with rainwater and handheld shower fittings, a bowl sink with built-in vanity storage, light-up mirror, WC, towel radiator, and inset ceiling lights for a clean, modern finish.

A shingled section behind the garage provides additional flexibility — whether for planting, extra seating, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The detached garage sits to the side of the garden and is equipped with light, power, and plumbing, making it a highly functional space for storage, a workshop, utility use, or even future conversion into a garden room or studio.
