About this home

The enchanting garden of this character semi-detached family home has a stream on the rear boundary with a footbridge leading to the mature woodland of Glebe Copse that offers a delightful and attractive outlook.

The property boasts a number of interesting features that notably include a superb open plan kitchen/dining room and a garden studio that has a log burner while a utility/cloakroom and workshop are found at the rear approached from the garden. This appealing home will be of interest to purchasers seeking a traditional home in a quiet back street location that is a no through road where houses rarely come onto the market. The remainder of the accommodation comprises a hallway and a front aspect lounge with a bay window and fitted bookshelves.

A small conservatory is approached from the kitchen/diner and a door opens onto a decked balcony that has a delightful outlook. On the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms served by a shower room. The loft bedroom is generous in proportions with eaves storage space and has an en-suite bathroom.

Outside, a hedge on the front boundary creates privacy and the driveway allows off road parking, leading to the small garage that provides useful storage space while the impressive garden studio is found behind the garage and is suitable for a number of purposes. The charming rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and plants with the stream and footbridge found at the rear.
