Accommodation

The property offers a traditional layout, with a central front door opening into an entrance hall incorporating the staircase. To one side, the spacious sitting room features an attractive media wall with provision for a television and useful storage.

The tiled flooring provides a practical finish, while the attractive fitted units incorporate a white ceramic sink, built-in electric oven, combination microwave, gas hob and slimline dishwasher.

On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys the added advantage of an en suite shower room, while the second bedroom is a good-sized double. The third bedroom is currently arranged as a stylish home office but would also make a comfortable single bedroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite, including a bath with shower handset.

Outside

Occupying a corner plot, the property enjoys a little extra space to either side. A private gated driveway to the rear provides secure, enclosed off-road parking and access to the single garage, while a further parking space to the side benefits from an EV charging point. The garage has a roller shutter door, power and lighting, together with a side door opening directly into the rear garden.

Predominantly south-west facing, the garden enjoys a sunny aspect and is enclosed by a combination of solid walling and fencing, making it well suited to family use. A paved patio sits immediately outside the house, conveniently accessed through the French doors from the sitting room, with stepping stones leading across the lawn towards the garage. Beyond, a decked area provides further space for outdoor seating, while an additional area to one side is currently used for a trampoline but could equally accommodate a garden shed or similar storage.
