The Accommodation

A sheltered porch opens into a welcoming and spacious entrance hall, featuring a central staircase rising to the first floor and a convenient cloakroom with WC. To the right, the generously proportioned sitting room is a bright, dual-aspect space. It centres around a charming brick fireplace with a gas operated stove and timber mantle, while large sliding patio doors offer a seamless connection to the rear garden. Across the hall, the dining room provides a formal space for entertaining, with a wide window overlooking the front gardens. To the rear of the property is the kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with a modern range of cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a practical breakfast bar.

Completing the ground floor is a functional utility room located off the kitchen, which provides internal access to the garage and access to the garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is bathed in natural light from a large window, serving as a central hub for the four versatile bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double with a large front-facing window and two built-in cupboards, while bedroom two offers a spacious rear-facing alternative. Bedroom three features views over the the street scene, and bedroom four is a good size room with views over the rear garden.

The accommodation is completed by a contemporary family bathroom, thoughtfully finished with vibrant yellow walls and grey cabinetry. This modern suite comprises a panelled bath, a low-level WC, a washbasin set within a vanity unit, and a separate large curved glass shower cubicle featuring elegant marble-effect tiling. For those requiring extra space, the floor plan incorporates substantial eaves storage accessible from the principle bedroom.

Outside

Set back from the road on a generous plot of approximately 0.22 acres—a rarity for such a central town location—the property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking and leading to the single garage. The front garden is primarily laid to lawn, interspersed with mature shrubs and trees, with a winding pathway leading to the front porch.

To the rear, the garden is a particular feature of the home, offering a substantial and private outdoor space. Immediately adjacent to the house is a paved patio area, ideal for alfresco dining, which gives way to an expansive lawn bordered by established hedgerows and a variety of specimen trees. The garden extends further to a secondary seating area and a productive section currently housing a greenhouse, all enjoying a high degree of seclusion.
