Set back behind a mature front garden, the attractive double-fronted façade features traditional bay windows and leads into a spacious and flexible family home. The front-facing living room is a particularly generous reception room with a wide bay window providing plenty of natural light, together with a gas fireplace. Across the hallway is a separate study with extensive fitted shelving and cabinetry, providing an ideal space for home working. To the rear is a second reception room, currently used as a dining/family room, with exposed ceiling beams and direct access onto the garden. The kitchen offers a good range of units and worktop space, room for a dining table and a useful larder cupboard, while also providing plenty of scope for a future owner to redesign the space to suit their own requirements. A separate utility room provides additional practical space and access to both the rear garden and fifth double bedroom. This area also benefits from independent access, making it particularly versatile and suitable for use as a home office, treatment room, studio or workspace without the need to access the main house. A cloakroom/WC and understairs storage complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous room with a large bay window, extensive built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. Its current layout also offers scope to reconfigure the bedroom, bathroom and storage areas if desired. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor, together with an additional bonus room which could be used as a dressing room, nursery, study or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a full-size bath and overhead shower, while a linen cupboard provides further storage from the landing. There is also potential to extend into the loft, as has been done at other properties along the road, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway providing off-road parking, with an established front garden and mature planting. To the rear is a substantial garden, generous in both length and width and predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, hedging and established borders providing a good degree of privacy.
