A door opens into the main hallway which gives access to the majority of the accommodation. The kitchen is to the right, sitting room to the left and stairs straight ahead rise to the first floor. Starting with the sitting room, which is a pleasant and attractive living space boasting a bright triple aspect. A woodburning stove creates a lovely feature and the perfect focal point to the room, while double doors open out and extend the reception area with an attractive conservatory. This provides further seating and another set of double doors step out to the garden. The kitchen/dining room also enjoys an abundance of light from a double aspect at the front and rear, and this spacious room has been tastefully upgraded by the current owners. Space is provided for a dining table and chairs, and this opens up to a recently refitted kitchen. There is a slick, modern arrangement of cupboards and drawers, with a range of built-in appliances and ample worktop space. Appliances include an eye-level double electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. A four ring gas hob is also fitted with an extractor canopy above while a utility section opposite the main part of the kitchen has more storage, a sink/drainer, space for a washing machine and a cupboard housing the boiler.

Outside & parking

Tucked away in the corner is number 25, where there is a driveway leading up to a garage. The approach to the house sets the superb standard from the front, and this follows right the way throughout the home. A strip of lawn is to the right with half a dozen steps that lead to the front door. A path to the right of the garage leads towards a separate entrance to the garage at the side, and round to a pedestrian gate providing side access to the garden. An area laid to shingle at the front of the home makes for easy maintenance. 

Opening through the gate at the side on the left of the property, a path leads round to the back. This wide strip to the side has been utilised well by the current owners, with an abundance of storage in the form of timber sheds. The garden has been cleverly arranged as from here, a path joins all the way across the back of the home, and is accessed from the conservatory as well as the kitchen. It runs all the way round to the opposite side where there is further gated access to the front of the home, allowing for 360° access around the property, and making it a safe space for those with children and pets. The main area of the garden is separated by a raised fence divide, which has multiple areas to enjoy. The raised decking makes for a sunny and private space to sit and relax, or host family and guests. It is attractively decorated with potted plants and flowerbeds planted along a fenced border, which flows to a section laid with artificial grass.
