The home is constructed with attractive facing brick elevations beneath a tiled roof and benefits from gas central heating, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully extended with an orangery area that includes French doors to the garden. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with a wide range of fitted units, granite worktops, and a full suite of integrated appliances including a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, five-burner gas hob, cooker hood, and a Neff electric double oven, making it perfect for family living and entertaining.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, a dressing area with further built-in storage, and a stylish en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also enjoys fitted wardrobes, picturesque countryside views, and its own en-suite. Two additional bedrooms are served by a fully tiled family bathroom. There is also a large airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder, and access to the loft.

Outside, the home is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a block-paved courtyard. The detached double garage has an electric up-and-over door, lighting, power, a gas boiler, and a personal door to the rear courtyard area. A side gate provides access to the rear garden, which is neatly landscaped with a paved patio, a level lawn, and an established laurel hedge offering privacy and greenery. As part of Elm Gardens, the property forms part of a small Residents Association, with an annual maintenance fee of £200 covering communal lighting, Public Liability Insurance, and a sinking fund for shared areas.
