From the moment you arrive, the property makes an excellent first impression. A generous brick-paved driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, whilst a side driveway leads through to a detached garage. Mature planting softens the frontage, creating an inviting approach.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall welcomes you into a bright and well-maintained home.
Positioned at the front of the property is the spacious sitting room. A beautiful bay window allows natural light to pour into the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. A traditional wood-burning stove set within the chimney breast provides a charming focal point, making this the perfect place to relax with family or unwind after a busy day. The generous proportions easily accommodate a range of furniture while retaining a comfortable and homely feel.
To the rear of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, forming the true heart of the home. Offering excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining, the kitchen is fitted with timeless Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by contrasting worktops and tiled splashbacks.

The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a large table, creating a wonderful space to gather with friends and family for meals and celebrations.
Leading directly from the dining area is the conservatory, adding valuable additional living space. With glazing on three sides and a vaulted roof, this bright room enjoys lovely views across the garden and provides the perfect setting for a second sitting area, playroom or home office. Double doors open directly onto the patio, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow effortlessly together during the warmer months. Completing the ground floor is a convenient cloakroom.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double room featuring an attractive bay window that mirrors the sitting room below, creating a bright and relaxing retreat. The second bedroom is another spacious double overlooking the rear garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the third bedroom offers excellent flexibility as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office.
The family bathroom has been finished in a contemporary style and features marble-effect wall tiling, a modern white suite and a bath with shower over, providing a practical yet stylish space for everyday family life.
Outside, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Beautifully established and extending a considerable distance, it has been thoughtfully divided into a number of different areas to enjoy throughout the seasons. A generous paved terrace immediately outside the house provides the ideal setting for summer barbecues and outdoor dining, before leading onto a substantial lawn framed by mature hedging, colourful planting and established trees. Beyond the lawn, additional seating areas create peaceful spots to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
The impressive outbuildings add tremendous versatility to the property. Alongside the detached garage is a dedicated garden room and separate workshop, offering excellent potential for those working from home, pursuing hobbies or requiring additional storage.

“I can recommend the services of Wellington Evans unreservedly and without hesitation. James was consistently responsive, proactive and professional whilst also very personable. To us as purchasers, James felt like an honest broker between ourselves and the vendor. He worked brilliantly well with our solicitor, Elite Conveyancing, and the vendor, navigating a number of bumps along the road to achieve our completed transaction in around 2 months from initial viewing.”
Elaine Baker, House Purchase in ApostlesFebruary 2024
“I used Wellington Evans to sell a property, they went above and beyond for what was a complicated process at times. We had used a different agency previously, and not had much interest. When WE came in, we made a plan to refresh the property and marketing approach which saw many more viewers and an offer. James was great at helping me figure out the next best move and the advice they gave from start to finish was excellent. Lovely, supportive and involved team, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again myself.”
Vicky, House Sale in QuadrantMarch 2024
“Best estate agent we’ve ever had. We went on a bit of a journey with our house and Nick was always positive, pro-active and completely open with us along the way. He and James are vastly experienced but their modern approach sets them apart. You can tell they really care about what they do. It’s not just about selling houses, it’s about helping people move home and doing what’s best for the situation. If you want an estate agent that’s in your corner, we’d recommend Nick and Wellington Evans in a heartbeat.”
