Accommodation

Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a useful entrance porch area, ideal for storing coats and shoes before entering the main accommodation. From here, a door opens into a spacious hallway with newly laid flooring, with stairs rising to the first-floor landing on the left-hand side. Also positioned off the hallway is a modernised downstairs cloakroom, fitted with a WC, wash basin and a tall chrome heated towel rail, providing a practical addition for everyday family life and visiting guests. Straight ahead from the hallway is the beautifully refitted contemporary kitchen, comprising a sleek range of modern cupboards and drawers complemented by built-in appliances including an electric oven with induction hob and extractor canopy over, together with a built in eye-level microwave. There is further space and plumbing for appliances including a washing machine and fridge freezer, while the boiler is neatly positioned within the corner of the room. A door from the kitchen provides convenient access out to the rear garden. The open-plan sitting and dining room is a particularly appealing part of the home, forming a bright dual-aspect space with a window overlooking the front and sliding doors opening out to the rear garden. Recently fitted with new carpets, the room provides ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining area positioned perfectly in front of the garden doors — creating a sociable layout ideal for entertaining or relaxing with family.

Moving upstairs, the landing gives access to all three bedrooms as well as a useful airing cupboard positioned above the stairwell. The main bedroom is located at the front of the property and provides a comfortable double room, while the second bedroom, positioned to the rear, is also a generous double. The third bedroom is a particularly good-sized single and would equally lend itself well as a home office or study. Completing the accommodation is a recently modernised family bathroom, fitted with a WC and wash basin set within a vanity unit, together with a panelled bath with shower over and panelled surround, finished with a large chrome heated towel rail. Much of the property has been recently refurbished and presented in attractive neutral décor throughout, creating a home that is ready for a new owner to move straight into and enjoy from day one.

Pedestrian access at the side of the property leads through to the enclosed rear garden. Immediately adjoining the back of the home is a patio area, ideal for outdoor seating, with a couple of short steps rising to a well-kept lawn which forms the majority of the garden space. The garden is securely enclosed by fencing to both sides, making it well suited for children and pets, while the rear boundary is lined with an attractive hedgerow providing colour, texture and additional privacy, complemented by a selection of small flower beds which add further interest throughout the seasons.
