The airy central entrance hall, with its cloakroom and stairway, opens first to the generous 23 ft sitting room which has a fireplace, square walk-in bay window and double doors opening into the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining room. With garden views, this sociable space comprises a range of tasteful wall and base cabinetry, work surfaces and integrated appliances, with a breakfast bar, an adjacent well-appointed utility and ample dining space.

Three of the bedrooms benefit from bespoke fitted wardrobes, including the principal, which also enjoys the use of a contemporary en suite shower room.

The home is approached via a brick-laid driveway beside a stocked shrub border, leading up to the attached garage. Climbers adorn the façade, whilst a pair of side gates flow through to the pretty south-facing garden which spans the width of the home, enclosed by fencing.
