The family bathroom is finished to an excellent standard, featuring a modern three-piece suite, fully tiled walls and a chrome heated towel rail. The landing also provides a useful airing cupboard and access to the loft.

Outside

Occupying an enviable corner plot, the property enjoys a delightful position alongside an established hedgerow and overlooking a well maintained green.

A gated side access leads to the wonderful south-facing rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked perennial borders and a generous patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A garden shed is included, and a standout feature is the fully insulated timber cabin, currently utilised as a beauty studio. With power and water connected, this versatile space would also make an excellent home office, gym, workshop or creative studio.
