This smart, well laid out 3 bedroom terraced home comes with a good-sized garden, kitchen and sitting room, in the pretty and sought-after village of Stanford in the Vale. No onward chain.

Inside

The part-glazed front door fills the hallway with light. With a hardwearing tiled floor that runs throughout the hall, kitchen and downstairs cloakroom. 

Sitting room

The spacious sitting room has both French doors and a window looking out onto the enclosed rear garden, allowing you to easily connect garden and house for summer days and when entertaining.

The space is such that you could easily create a separate dining area, should you want an additional dining space distinct from the kitchen. There’s plenty of lounging space for sofas, armchairs and coffee tables. This versatile space is kept warm with two double radiators.

There’s also useful understairs storage for vacuum cleaners, ironing boards, coats, boots and more.

Kitchen

The light, bright, eat-in kitchen faces onto the front of the house. Lined on two sides with wall and base units, it offers plenty of storage and work surfaces, while still leaving ample space for a separate dining table.

Downstairs loo

To the left of the front door, the downstairs loo has space for a wall unit or coat rack, With close-coupled loo, hand basin with feature tiled splashback, and a single radiator.    

Outside  

To the front, variegated box hedging and a small, grassed lawn area separate the house from the street.

The fully enclosed rear garden faces north-west, ensuring you can use it throughout the summer with a choice of full sun or shade. Mostly laid to lawn, the low maintenance garden has a small sun-trap patio to the far end of the garden, in addition to the patio outside the French doors to the sitting room.
