Set behind a picket fence and low-maintenance front garden, the double storey house makes a wonderful first impression. Welcoming you inside is an attractive porch, which in turn leads to the hallway, with understair storage.

Enjoying a large footprint and a sunny double aspect is the inviting living room. Arranged around a focal wood burning stove set in a stone chimney, this reception room retains a cosy atmosphere despite its generous size. It enjoys a semi-open-plan layout to a separate area, which could be used as either a snug, formal dining room, or even a home office. Double glazed doors lead to the rear extension, where an attractive and spacious second reception room awaits. Currently utilised as a formal dining room with a partial open-plan layout to the kitchen, the room offers enough space to house a family room. It benefits from a double aspect, with large patio doors leading to a decked terrace and the garden beyond - ideal for summer entertaining!

The beautifully-appointed kitchen comes fully fitted with farmhouse-styled Shaker units neatly integrating a range of appliances (including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob and concealed extractor hood) as well as lighting and some open shelving. With space for a dining table and chairs, it is the perfect spot for a quick lunch or morning coffee. Neighbouring the kitchen is a utility room with direct access to the garage and a back door to the side garden.

Upstairs, leading off the central landing, the home offers three double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom boasts a sunny double aspect, extensive fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors, as well as a contemporary en-suite shower room. The two remaining bedrooms both also benefit from built-in wardrobes (with bedroom 3 enjoying an additional walk-in cupboard) and lovely views over the rooftops to the hills in the distance. A contemporary family bathroom, with a handheld shower-over-bath, completes the accommodation.

The house has been fitted with gas central heating and double glazing, ensuring a warm yet cost effective living environment all year round.

Externally, you will find low-maintenance gardens wrapping around the house, with paved pathways and patios, gravelled areas, as well as a decked terrace and beds with shrubs, flowers and a hedge. 

Extras: Included in the sale are all the fitted floorcoverings, light fittings, integrated appliances, and blinds.
