The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining space, a bright, vaulted room designed for modern family life and easy entertaining. The contemporary kitchen sits neatly within the space, with sleek cabinetry and a central island that becomes the natural meeting point for breakfast, homework, a glass of wine while dinner cooks, or catching up with friends. Light pours in from above and from the garden-facing doors, drawing you outside on sunny days and giving the room a lovely sense of height and airiness, whether you are relaxing in the lounge area or setting the table for a weekend meal.

Throughout, the finish is clean and well considered, the kind of place where you can unpack, hang your pictures, and get on with enjoying your new home.

Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight, stretching to around 100 feet and facing south, so you can follow the sun from morning coffee to long afternoons on the patio. The layout is level and easy to maintain, with a broad terrace for dining and a generous lawn framed by established planting, plus side access that is ideal for bikes, bins and garden projects.

The setting adds to the appeal too, positioned on a bus route, within local school catchments, and close to everyday amenities, it is a home that balances convenience with that bungalow ease buyers love. Sold with no forward chain, it is ready for a smooth move and a fresh start.
