Inside the property


This property welcomes you via a central hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor and a convenient understairs cloakroom/WC is located. The lounge is a generous and inviting space, perfectly suited to modern family living, with a large front-facing window allowing plenty of natural light to flood the room. An archway leads through to the dining room, ideally positioned adjacent to the kitchen and providing direct access to the conservatory, creating an excellent flow for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers an excellent range of storage units and work surfaces, along with plumbing and space for appliances. There is room for a freestanding cooker with an extractor hood above, while a built-in cupboard provides the perfect space for a tall fridge freezer. Finished with wooden units, profiled-edge worktops, pelmets and tiled flooring, the kitchen also benefits from a door leading to the side of the property. As mentioned earlier, planning permission has been granted for an extension that would create a substantially larger open-plan kitchen and dining area, offering exciting potential for those seeking additional space. Further details and plans can be viewed using the planning reference provided within these particulars. Spanning the full width of the property, the conservatory enjoys delightful views across the rear garden and provides a versatile additional reception area. It is double glazed throughout and features a polycarbonate roof, making it an ideal space to enjoy the garden in all seasons. The property has been well maintained and improved, with new carpets fitted recently, replacement internal doors installed throughout, a full rewire completed, and solar panels added to assist with the home's energy efficiency and central heating system.
Upstairs


Stairs rise to a central first-floor landing, providing access to all bedrooms, the family bathroom, airing cupboard and loft space. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and offers a spacious double room complete with built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two also benefits from fitted wardrobes and enjoys a pleasant rear aspect overlooking the garden. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms complete the accommodation, making this an ideal home for growing families or those requiring additional space for a home office or guest room. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath featuring a shower over and glass screen, a low-level WC, and a wash hand basin with useful storage drawers beneath, and a mood lighting control. Complemented by a heated towel rail, laminate flooring and contemporary large-format white wall tiles, the bathroom is both practical and stylishly presented.
Outside


The property occupies an exceptionally generous plot, which was one of the key attractions for the current owners. Recognising the potential, they significantly expanded the already sizeable driveway, creating extensive parking in front of the detached double garage. In addition, there is a further area adjacent to the garage that could potentially accommodate additional garaging or outbuildings, subject to the necessary consents and removal of a tree. Currently, this space is utilised for storage. The smart brick-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the detached rendered double garage, which benefits from twin up-and-over doors, power and lighting. An EV charging point is also conveniently installed alongside the property. To the rear, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and offers plenty of space for family life, entertaining and children's play. A patio extends directly from the conservatory, creating an ideal spot for outdoor dining and relaxation. There is also a recently constructed timber outbuilding positioned in one corner of the garden, complete with power, lighting and boosted Wi-Fi, making it suitable as a home office, workshop or hobby space. The elevated position of the garden allows for attractive far-reaching views, which become even more impressive from the first-floor bedrooms. Overall, the garden offers a wonderful balance of space and versatility, whether for keen gardeners, growing families or those who simply enjoy spending time outdoors.
