A Much-Loved Family Home – Warm, Welcoming & Full of Potential:-

Owned by the same family since new and cherished for 38 years, this home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated over time, making it a truly special place to put down roots. With bright, well-proportioned rooms and a layout designed for togetherness, it offers both space and flexibility for modern family living-and even the potential for multi-generational households.

There are three comfortable double bedrooms, including a main with its own en-suite shower room, plus two generous single bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional shower room-ideal for busy mornings when everyone’s on the go. The spacious sitting room, with its large bay window and inviting fireplace, which has the potential for a wood burner, is a natural gathering point for cosy evenings, while the formal dining room opens directly to the garden, making it perfect for Sunday lunches and celebrations. At the heart of the home, the modern kitchen offers stylish handleless units, built-in appliances, a breakfast bar, and access to the garage-practical yet welcoming, it’s the perfect spot for casual family meals and catch-ups.

Outside, the property has driveway parking for at least two cars, a single garage, and a sunny, well-sized rear garden-a safe and private space where children can play and adults can relax or entertain.

Situated towards the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac but still close to local schools, shops, and everyday amenities, this is the kind of home where lasting memories are made. Warm, versatile, and full of heart, it’s ready to welcome its next family.
