No onward chain.

THE PROPERTY

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors and provides flexible living space ideally suited to modern family life. An entrance hall leads to a convenient ground floor cloakroom and staircase to the first floor. The heart of the home is a bright and spacious dual-aspect sitting/dining room, offering an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. A large patio door opens directly onto the rear patio and a stone fireplace provides a nice focal point to the room. The modern kitchen is fitted with contemporary units and work surfaces. There is an integrated electric oven and hob with extractor above, as well as space for a freestanding dishwasher. A separate utility room provides additional storage and houses plumbing for a washing machine. The integral garage offers further storage potential and could, subject to any necessary consents, provide scope for conversion if desired. On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with en-suite shower room. The accommodation is served by a family bathroom making the layout particularly suitable for growing families or visiting guests. Outside, the property enjoys gardens extending to both the side and rear, offering a wonderful degree of privacy, with established planting adding character and maturity. To the front is driveway parking leading to the garage, which can accommodate several vehicles.
