To the right, the impressive 21ft sitting room enjoys a dual aspect with windows to both the side and front, bathing the space in natural light and creating an inviting setting for relaxation.

The airing cupboard, with its pressurised hot water cylinder, is neatly concealed, while the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish ensuite shower room with contemporary fittings. Three further double bedrooms offer excellent versatility, with one currently serving as a home office complete with a Scandinavian-style Murphy bed, wardrobes and shelving. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed, featuring a modern suite with bath and shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully designed and terraced to create distinct areas for both leisure and play. An extensive paved patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation, while a secure, picket-fenced lawn offers a safe space for children. Raised beds with reclaimed sleeper borders bring colour and greenery, and steps to the side lead to a gated access onto the driveway, where there is tandem parking for two vehicles and access to an EV charging point.
