The property benefits from west-facing gardens, ample accommodation and a detached pitched-roof workshop, making it particularly appealing for those seeking flexible living or work-from-home space. The entrance hall provides access to a convenient ground floor shower room and a welcoming sitting room featuring a character fireplace. From here, the sitting room flows through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of units and worktops. A separate utility room sits alongside a highly practical lean-to utility area, complete with additional worktop space and direct access to the rear garden.

An inner hall provides access to bedrooms two and four, as well as stairs rising to the first floor. Upstairs, a generous landing leads to the principal bedroom, which is approached via its own dressing room. The third bedroom is an impressive 20 feet in length, offering excellent flexibility, while a family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, there is parking to the front, while the rear garden enjoys a sunny westerly aspect, laid mainly to lawn with a brick-built potting shed. The standout feature is the detached brick-built workshop (18’3” x 15’9”) with power and light, an incredibly flexible space offering multiple potential uses.
