Accommodation

Stepping in through the front door, there is a small hallway which has stairs leading to the first floor as well as a door in the main living accommodation. This sociable open plan space spans nearly 29ft in total, creating a family friendly area that is also great for entertaining. Illuminated by windows both to the front of the sitting area as well as out to the garden from the kitchen, this pleasant double aspect allows for natural light to flood the room. The sitting room blends into an office area, easily adaptable as a play area, while there is a great storage cupboard under the stairs. Ample space is provided for a table and chairs in the dining space which forms part of the kitchen at the back of the room. Here there is an abundance of built in storage cupboards and drawers, along with worksurface space aplenty. Built in appliances include a dishwasher, electric oven with induction hob and extractor canopy over. A stainless steel sink/drainer sits underneath a window out to the garden, while a single door also steps on to the patio. Further space for appliances such as a fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer is also provided, while a handy cloakroom rounds off the ground floor with WC and wash basin fitted.

Rising up to the first floor, bedroom two is a large room, currently doubling up as an office and bedroom. It is from here you can enjoy the wonderful views from an even more elevated position on the first floor. Both bedrooms are served by a family bathroom in the middle of the landing, comprising a WC, wash hand basin and a panelled bath with shower over with partially tiled surround. The main bedroom is a similar generous size to the front room, this time looking over the garden.

Outside & parking

To the front of this lovely home is a wonderful outlook, as you can look across from the front door out to open countryside in the distance. There is a small, neat section of lawn providing greenery which adds colour to the front garden, while a short footpath leads up the front door. The level brick paved driveway has ample space for two vehicles one in front of the other, even with a timber storage shed at the end of the drive. A pedestrian gate provides access into the rear garden which has an attractive patio and seating area adjoining the back of the house. Another tidy area laid to lawn centres the garden, enclosed with fencing at each side and making this the perfect safe space for children and pets. A small gate presents steps up to the top of a tiered section of garden, where there is another space to sit and look over the garden, as well as over towards the aforementioned countryside past the side of the home.
