Set back behind a shingle driveway, the property offers ample offroad parking and access to an adjoining garage.

Inside, the home provides a solid, well-proportioned footprint ready for updating. An enclosed porch leads into a welcoming entrance hallway with access to a cloakroom, a study/fourth bedroom, and a kitchen/breakfast room that connects to a side lobby and the garage. To the rear, an expansive open plan lounge and dining space spans the full width of the home, bathed in garden views and opening directly onto the rear terrace through double doors.

Upstairs, three bedrooms, two with built-in storage, are served by a family bathroom.

To the rear, the private enclosed garden is a standout feature, boasting both space and versatility. Laid mainly to lawn and framed by mature boundaries, it includes a swimming pool that is currently in need of attention, but which was previously in full working order. With recommissioning, this could once again form a fabulous leisure centrepiece. Surrounding the pool is a generous patio area, perfect for entertaining, alfresco dining, or creating a stylish garden retreat.

This is a rare chance to secure a spacious property in a top-tier location and shape it entirely to your vision.
