Owner's comments

"Upon viewing this property we knew it was just what we wanted. The airy and spacious kitchen diner provided us with the space we needed to host evenings with friends and family. Summer evenings spent out in the garden enjoying the sun and cold rainy days spent chilling on the sofa. Such a peaceful quiet area just hearing the sound of sheep and cows in the field to the right and the church bells on a Sunday morning. 

Being avid runners/walkers the area is perfect with being so close to wooded walks and trails. Just a few miles up the road and you are on the moors with views for miles. We feel sad to be selling our first home together and will miss the community and area immensely."

Accommodation

Stepping in through the front door there is a small but useful porch which opens into a hallway with double doors creating a sense of space and light, presenting a spacious sitting room with a large window to the front. Under stairs storage can be found and a large opening leads through to a spacious kitchen/dining room. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, along with a window to the rear creating a bright aspect with the sitting room. The kitchen itself has not long been refitted and features and abundance of built-in appliances to include a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and an electric oven with induction hob and extractor canopy over. This extended space allows for ample work surface areas and storage, with streams of light coming through a window at the rear in addition to a skylight above. There is a single door which gives access to the low maintenance rear garden and communal parking area behind the property.

Rising up the stairs to the first floor there is a landing which gives access to each of the rooms up here as well as a hatch providing access to the loft. A family bathroom serves each of the bedrooms and comprises a white suite, including a WC, wash hand basin, and a panelled bath with shower over. It also features a fully tiled surround and large obscured window to the rear. Bedroom two is also to the rear aspect and is a comfortable double bedroom, while both bedroom three and the principal room are to the front elevation. Bedroom one is a particularly generous double and the third is a single room with great storage in the form of a large airing cupboard above the stairs. 

Outside & parking

Parking can be found on street to the front of the home, which is a few seconds walk across an open communal courtyard which leads to a small enclosed front garden, divided by a picket fence. The path leads up to the front door and this area is easily kept with an area of shingle and space for bins etc.

A door from the kitchen opens into the external space which is largely laid to shingle. There are fenced borders at each side and a gate at the back that leads around to the garage and parking area. This charming patio section attracts plenty of sunlight and makes for a sociable space to sit and enjoy a drink of a warm summer's evening.
