A hallway (with built-in under-stair storage) welcomes you into the home, leading into a living room on the right. Generously proportioned, the living room allows for flexible furniture configurations and is illuminated by an east-facing window capturing morning sun and framing leafy views of the front garden. Continuing along the hall, you reach a kitchen, where classically styled wall and base cabinets are accompanied by spacious worktops, as well as a selection of freestanding and undercounter appliances. The kitchen is adjoined by a boot room/rear porch opening onto the garden and affording access to a dining room – creating the perfect space for sit-down meals and entertaining.
The principal bedroom is situated on the ground floor and occupies a particularly spacious footprint, with the remaining two well-proportioned double bedrooms on the first floor, approached via a landing with storage. A shower room (on the ground floor) completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a corner shower enclosure, a basin, and a WC. The home is kept warm by gas central heating and benefits from double-glazed windows.
Externally, the property is accompanied by a large front garden with neat lawns, leafy shrubbery, and a hedged border, whilst the rear garden is mainly paved and gravelled, also featuring a wealth of established shrubbery. Private parking is provided by a detached single garage and a multi-car driveway.
Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and kitchen appliances will be included in the sale. The furniture can also be included if desired, and the buyer is happy to discuss the wall paintings once an offer has been agreed.
