Property Insight:

As you enter the property and step into the entrance hall, it immediately feels warm and welcoming, with its wooden flooring and neutral colour palette.  On your left is a bright and cosy sitting room – a lovely space for relaxing after a busy day.  A beautiful feature fireplace with chequerboard hearth and floral tile motif provides a wonderful focal point and there is ample space for adding a comfy sofa and further furniture - perfect for cosying up on a winter’s evening.  The large box bay window is another wonderful character feature of the room and introduces plenty of natural light.

The sitting room leads through into spacious dining room which is bright and has a contemporary feel.  The under-stair area has been opened up to create a handy storage niche which is ideal for hiding away coats and shoes.  The neutral décor and wooden flooring in this room help create a lovely sense of continuity from the sitting room.  A built-in cupboard painted in a contrasting deep teal provides useful additional storage space as well as a focal point to the room.  There is plenty of space for a table and chairs, making it perfect for enjoying relaxed family meals or entertaining friends.  A glazed patio door introduces lots of natural light and provides direct access to the garden, making it a practical set up for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining during the summer months.

An archway leads through to the kitchen.  Classic in design and featuring white shaker-style cabinetry with wood-effect worktops, white subway-tile splashbacks and a traditional brick-red tiled floor, there is space for a cooker, dishwasher and fridge-freezer.  Although compact, the kitchen has been thoughtfully laid out and has everything you need, including access to the garden through a glazed door.  The large window overlooking the garden helps make it a lovely, bright space.

Upstairs are two, well-proportioned bedrooms.  Both bedrooms are light and airy, with neutral décor and carpet.   The principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe plus plenty of space for additional furniture, and benefits from a large window to the front.  The bathroom is contemporary in design and features white subway tiles and a white bathroom suite, including a full-size bath with shower over.   It is completed by contrasting dark, hexagonal floor tiles and a chrome heated ladder towel rail.

Outside, is a low-maintenance garden, featuring paved and lawned areas - perfect for entertaining family and friends during the summer months.  A lean-to shed provides useful additional storage.  At the end of the garden there is access to the double garage at the back, which is incredibly handy.  To the front of the property is a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking.
