There is space for a cooker with extractor hood over, space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine.

The slighter longer but narrower bedroom is situated toward the front of the home, where the second wider bedroom enjoys views over the garden. The third bedroom is a versatile single bedroom that could be used as either office space or a dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, on the first floor is a bathroom comprising a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin set onto a vanity unit.

To the front of the of the home a hard standing driveway provides ample off-road parking and runs down the side of the property to give direct car access to a detached single garage that is set back toward the rear. The garage has light and power and an up and over main door. A door to the side of the garage opens to the garden.

At the rear is a good size family garden that is enclosed by tall timber panel fencing. The garden has a generous paved patio seating area, ideal for outside furniture creating a place to both entertain or simply to sit and relax in the warmer summer months. An area of lawn extends behind the garage and provides an excellent space for youngsters to play.

This is a super home in a highly desirable location. The home was rewired in 2009/10 and had the boiler was replaced in 2021. It also offers plenty of scope for buyers to add further value after purchase especially through extension. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
