Property:

Upon approach, the property immediately impresses with its private driveway and garage — a rare and valuable feature in this central location, where resident permit parking is more typical. The handsome bay-fronted façade sets the tone for the character and charm found throughout.

The front reception room is flooded with natural light from the bay window and features an inset fireplace with glazed contrasting brick tiles, complemented by charming picture rails — creating an ideal space for relaxation and entertaining.

To the rear of the property lies a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family room — the true heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with tasteful units, solid oak work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, and a ceramic Butler sink. Further benefits include an integrated oven and dishwasher, space for a fridge/freezer, recessed spotlighting, and attractive wood flooring. A matching fireplace adds character and continuity from the living room.

Glazed double doors lead into a delightful aluminium sun room/conservatory, offering panoramic views over the garden, with bi-folding doors offering indoor-outdoor living. This bright and versatile space enjoys an abundance of natural sunlight and provides direct access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the property offers two very generous double bedrooms along with a well-proportioned third single bedroom, ideal as a child’s room, home office, or guest space.

A beautifully appointed shower room completes the first floor, featuring a double-width walk-in shower, W.C., and vanity basin, all enhanced by a stylish feature brick wall for a contemporary yet characterful finish.

Outside:

The rear garden begins with a generous patio area, perfect for al fresco dining, outdoor entertaining, and enjoying the west-facing aspect with evening sun. Steps rise to a central lawn, bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and enclosed by panel fencing. A standout feature is the rear boundary, formed by a striking listed Roman brick wall, adding a unique sense of history and character.

There is a service door to the garage and side access leading to the block-paved driveway. The front garden is enclosed by a brick wall and hedgerow, enhancing both privacy and kerb appeal.
