As you approach Number 15, the kerb appeal is immediate.

The home sits elegantly behind a landscaped wrap-around frontage, framed by a striking curved garden wall that gives the property a unique presence within the street. The driveway and detached garage offer excellent parking - always appreciated, especially by busy households with multiple vehicles.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a bright, spacious hallway that instantly makes you feel at home — a practical entrance area with ample room for coats, shoes, and everyday essentials. The stunning herringbone lvt flooring flows seamlessly through the hallway into the living room and dining kitchen, adding both style and continuity throughout. Solid oak internal doors run throughout the property, enhancing the overall sense of quality and craftsmanship at every turn.

To your right lies the impressive dining kitchen — the true social hub of the home. This wonderfully proportioned space is ideal for both relaxed family time and entertaining. The kitchen features an excellent range of fitted units, ample worktops and a delightful outlook to the side and front gardens. A particularly eye-catching feature is the stylish wooden wall panelling that flows through the kitchen and dining area, adding warmth, texture and a high-end finish that sets this space apart.

The room is beautifully bright thanks to its open layout, and whether you’re preparing breakfast before school or hosting a weekend meal, it’s a space designed to make daily life enjoyable. A large under-stairs storage cupboard is another thoughtful addition, keeping clutter tucked away.

From the kitchen, a door leads into the utility room - a brilliant space for keeping laundry and household chores discreetly separated from the main living areas. Beyond the utility is a well-placed cloakroom/WC, perfect for guests and busy mornings alike.

Across the hall, the living room provides the perfect retreat at the end of the day. Decorated in warm, neutral tones, the room feels calm and inviting, with French doors opening directly onto the patio - a feature that truly enhances the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. On summer evenings, throw them open and enjoy a drink on the patio, or relax in the hot tub as the sun sets over the garden.

Upstairs, the home offers three beautifully balanced bedrooms.

The master bedroom is filled with natural light thanks to its dual-aspect windows, creating a calm and inviting space to begin and end each day. It also features a private en-suite shower room, stylishly finished with part-tiled walls and sleek chrome fittings - perfectly suited for everyday comfort.

The second bedroom is another generously sized double, providing ample space for furniture and personal touches. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light while offering lovely views across the open green space in front of the house.

Bedroom three is a versatile room that can serve as a nursery, child’s room, dressing room or home office depending on your needs.

Completing the first floor is the modern family bathroom - stylishly finished with luxury flooring, contemporary tiling and chrome fixtures.

Outside, the garden is nothing short of exceptional.

Carefully landscaped to make the most of its northwest orientation, the garden offers a perfect blend of practical and enjoyable spaces - including a large decking area ideal for dining and relaxing, an artificial lawn that looks immaculate all year round with minimal upkeep for play and leisure, and raised planters for keen gardeners.

The current homeowner has also installed a fantastic wooden children’s play park, highlighting the generous space on offer (please note, the play park is not included in the sale). Altogether, it’s a private, sunny, and inviting garden that works beautifully for both everyday living and weekend gatherings.

To the front, the home’s wrap-around lawn and smart exterior presentation add to its charm, while a children’s play park just across the road - along with a large open green area - makes the location perfect for families.

You'll just love this home, and the location is excellent too.
