Welcome Home

Step inside through the front door into a welcoming porch, which leads you into the main hallway. The hallway is tastefully decorated in soothing grey tones, complemented by timber laminate flooring and a crisp white-painted staircase that ascends to the upper floor.

To your left, you'll find a convenient guest WC, complete with a toilet and washbasin. Moving to the right, enter the bright and airy lounge. This room is bathed in natural light thanks to a large leaded UPVC window that offers a pleasant view of the front garden.

The lounge is a cosy and inviting space, centred around a gas fireplace with a marble-style surround. Recessed spotlighting, beige walls, and soft carpeting create a warm and comfortable atmosphere that flows seamlessly through an open doorway into the second reception room.

The second reception room offers additional space, perfect for a formal dining area. Here, you'll find another gas fireplace and a large leaded window that frames views of the lush rear garden. There's ample room for a dining table, making this an ideal space for entertaining family and friends.

Adjacent to the reception rooms, you'll find a stylish galley kitchen, thoughtfully designed with sleek white gloss wall and base units that provide ample storage. The light-coloured worktop offers a clean, modern look, perfectly complemented by white metro-style tiling that adds a touch of classic charm. The kitchen is well-equipped with an integrated electric oven, a 4-ring hob, and a concealed extractor fan above. There's also plumbing in place for a dishwasher, along with a sink and drainer featuring practical splashback panels.

The kitchen maximizes space with an under-stair storage cupboard, ideal for keeping household essentials out of sight. A door and windows provide a seamless flow into the conservatory, with an additional door leading directly to the garden. The timber laminate flooring adds warmth and durability to this functional space.

Step into the conservatory, which is elevated above the garden, creating a light, bright, and airy atmosphere. Leaded windows on three sides invite natural light to flood the room, while tiled flooring adds a practical touch. This versatile space is perfect for relaxing with a good book, working from home, or even using it as a study.

Heading back to the hallway, ascend the carpeted staircase to the first floor, where three inviting bedrooms await.

At the front of the home, you'll find a generously sized bedroom, featuring a large leaded window that offers a picturesque view of the front aspect. This spacious room easily accommodates a full set of bedroom furniture, with ample space for a double or king-sized bed.

Adjacent to this, a second double bedroom overlooks the tranquil rear garden, offering a peaceful retreat.

Meanwhile, a third, smaller bedroom—currently arranged as a study—also enjoys a view of the front of the house.

All three bedrooms are tastefully decorated with neutral grey walls and matching carpeting, creating a cohesive and calming atmosphere throughout.

Indulge in relaxation in the elegant house bathroom, where a luxurious four-piece suite awaits. This well-appointed space includes a WC, a wall-hung vanity wash basin with convenient drawer storage, a panelled bath, and a separate glazed corner shower enclosure.

The bathroom's tiled walls and flooring harmonise beautifully with the crisp white suite, while a recessed shelf offers a perfect spot for storing towels. For added comfort, a heated towel rail is also included, ensuring your towels are always warm and ready.

Step Outside

At the rear of the property, you'll discover a generously sized garden, perfect for families, children, and pets. This outdoor space is securely enclosed by timber fence panels, ensuring privacy and safety for all.

Stone steps lead around to a paved patio and down to a lush lawn, bordered by flourishing plant beds that bring vibrant colour and life to the garden.

At the back, another paved patio area offers an ideal spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding in the fresh air.

Beyond the patio, you'll find a garden shed, perfect for storing gardening tools, outdoor equipment, or seasonal items.

The garden also provides access to the lower ground level utility room. This functional space includes plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a stainless steel sink and drainer.
