Why buy this home?

Situated on a quiet road, this spacious family home offers a large driveway with off-road parking for up to three cars, plus the convenience of a garage. Upon entering through the front door, you're welcomed by a handy cloak cupboard, ideal for hiding away coats and shoes, thanks to a previous front extension that enhances the entrance area. This leads you into a bright and airy hallway.

To the left, you’ll find a generously sized sitting room filled with natural light, creating a perfect space for family relaxation after a busy day.

From here, double doors open into a versatile reception room, currently used as a study. Adjacent to this is a utility room and a convenient downstairs shower room. A further door leads to the refitted kitchen, which boasts an abundance of cupboard and countertop space, making it an ideal environment for preparing family meals. The kitchen opens into a spacious dining area, greatly enhanced by a large rear extension, providing an open-plan layout that’s perfect for family dining and entertaining.

A separate family room sits just beside the dining area, offering an additional flexible space—ideal for children to play or for creating a secondary living area, providing privacy yet remaining within reach of the kitchen for easy supervision.

The light-filled conservatory, accessed via the dining room, allows you to enjoy the beautifully maintained garden year-round. French doors lead to a decked area with plenty of space for outdoor dining and social gatherings. Beyond the decking lies a mature garden with well-established trees and shrubs, offering privacy and a sense of seclusion.

The property has benefited from both ground and first-floor extensions, resulting in five bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom, located at the front, features built-in wardrobes, while bedroom two enjoys views of the lovely garden and morning sunlight. Completing the upstairs is a modern, fully tiled 4-piece bathroom, featuring both a bath and a separate shower cubicle, providing a luxurious and practical space for the whole family.
