Introduction

Built in 1946, this detached property offers well-proportioned accommodation and has been extended to both the sides and rear. Many of the rooms enjoy a dual aspect and as such are filled with natural light. The home sits on an unusually generous plot for a town location, featuring a glorious south-facing rear garden.

The Property

You enter the property into a spacious entrance reception room with a dual aspect and fitted wall lights. From here, a central hallway provides access to the other reception rooms and includes an understairs storage cupboard.

The extended main sitting room measures over 30 feet in length and features French doors leading to the rear garden, a fireplace with electric fire, wall lights, and double doors opening through to the kitchen, creating an open and flowing layout.

It includes a gas and electric range cooker, wall-mounted gas central heating boiler, and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher. There is ample space for a dining table with direct access to the rear garden, perfect for family living and entertaining.

Off the kitchen lies a more formal dining room, ideal for hosting guests or family meals. The snug is a bright and versatile room with a box bay window, offering an excellent option for a home office or potential fifth bedroom if required.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to a built-in cupboard, loft hatch, the family bathroom, and four generously sized double bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect and benefits from an en-suite shower room.
