Accommodation

A welcoming entrance hall brings you in from the front door, presenting stairs to the first floor as well as giving access to the majority of downstairs accommodation. Immediately upon stepping into the home, there is an inviting atmosphere giving the accurate impression of a home that has been well cared for many years. To the right is a flexible room currently arranged as a study by the owners, although with potential use as a playroom or snug area. The sitting room on the left is a pleasant, light room enjoying a double aspect through glass double doors flowing into a dining area, creating a spacious and sociable feel to what is the main entertainment space of the home. Sliding doors access the garden from the dining area, while there is a door also into the kitchen. Great scope is here to remove the wall separating these two rooms in order to create a modern open plan kitchen/dining room. In its current arrangement, the separate kitchen is fully fitted with a range of wall and base units and drawers for storage along with ample work surface areas. There is a stainless steel sink/drainer, built-in dishwasher, built-in fridge and space for an electric cooker with induction hob and extractor canopy over. A window overlooks the rear and fills the space with light, while the kitchen is also equipped with a fixed breakfast bar and a door leading into the utility room. This ‘must have’ for any family home offers space for white goods to include a fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, in addition to a further sink, more storage cupboards and worktop space. A single door leads out to the patio which adjoins the back of the home, with a handy cloakroom also accessed from the utility room, complete with a wash handbasin and WC.

Rising upstairs, the first floor has plenty of scope for versatility, with bedrooms of good proportions - five in total. The largest bedrooms are to the front aspect, starting with bedroom one which also includes an abundance of built-in wardrobes and boasting an en-suite shower room, comprising a WC, wash handbasin and a separate shower cubicle. Bedroom two is another considerable double bedroom, with two more double bedrooms facing the rear aspect of the home. The fifth bedroom is a large single, which would also make for an ideal office, while each bedroom is also served by a family bathroom. It comprises a white suite with chrome fitments, including a WC, wash hand basin, and panelled bath with shower over. 

Outside & parking

The home offers great curb appeal with a well tended section of grass at the front, and a path leading from the driveway to the front door. Parking is provided for up to 3 vehicles, while further unrestricted parking is available on the street and an attached garage is accessed via an electric roller door. 

A large patio adjoins the back of the property, spreading the width of the home and while hosting a pleasant seating area, tucked away from any neighbours. The garden enjoys a pleasant outlook with greenery in the background in the form of established trees, while a picket fence divides the patio And a very well kept area of lawn. There are fenced boundaries at each side and at the back is another patio with a pond and further attractive spot to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet. Access into the garage can be found via a door at the back, as well as a gate at the side of the home providing pedestrian access back round to the front via a small hard standing area hidden away which homes bins and the oil tank.
