Being offered with no onward chain. Occupying an attractive position within a cul-de-sac, this well-presented detached home offers a balanced arrangement of accommodation extending to approximately 1,800 sq ft, complemented by a generous rear garden and integral garage.
The property is approached over a driveway providing off-road parking, leading to the garage, while a neatly tended front lawn and established planting create an appealing first impression. The traditional brick elevations are set beneath a tiled roof, with a central entrance door opening into a welcoming reception hall with staircase rising to the first floor.
The principal reception room is a particularly impressive space, extending to over 22 ft in length, with a wide front-facing window drawing in excellent natural light and a feature fireplace providing a focal point. This room flows comfortably for both everyday living and entertaining.
To the rear, the dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and is ideally positioned adjacent to the kitchen, creating a natural hub for family life. The kitchen itself is well arranged with a range of fitted units and work surfaces, with direct access through to the adjoining utility room, which in turn provides further access to the garden and internal access to the garage. A ground floor bathroom completes the accommodation at this level.
On the first floor, a central landing leads to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, extending to over 14 ft, enjoying a front aspect. A further double bedroom overlooks the rear garden, while a third bedroom provides a comfortable single room or ideal study. A cloakroom serves all rooms, and there is the added benefit of useful eaves storage.
Outside
The rear garden is a notable feature of the property, enjoying a good degree of privacy and a predominantly lawned aspect bordered by mature planting. A paved terrace adjoins the rear of the house, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with direct access from the internal accommodation. The front of the property offers off road parking in front of the garage and a lawned area.
