The Property -

Upon entering, a porch leads into the inviting sitting room, featuring a charming fireplace with an inset multi-fuel burner, a built-in storage cupboard, and access to an under-stairs cupboard. The dining room, positioned at the front of the home, opens via double doors into the garden room—a wonderful space bathed in natural light, with direct access to the rear garden.

The kitchen is a true focal point, fitted with an elegant range of matching wall and base units, complemented by sleek black granite worktops. A large central island doubles as a breakfast bar and includes sliding pan drawers and a plinth heater. There is space for a range-style oven with an extractor hood over. A built-in microwave, and an under-counter fridge will remain. The utility room continues the kitchen’s stylish design, offering ample storage via the large larger cupboard, space for an American-style fridge/freezer, and dedicated areas for laundry appliances. A door leads out to the rear patio, with an adjacent ground-floor shower room featuring a fully tiled shower, vanity unit with a sink, WC, and a heated towel rail.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three generous double bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys dual-aspect views, while the second bedroom features a large built-in wardrobe. The third bedroom, also with built-in storage, overlooks the front aspect. A stylish family bathroom includes a slipper bath with a shower attachment, a pedestal wash hand basin, WC, and a heated towel rail.

Externally, the property boasts a paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, with a small garden bordered by a charming picket fence. The rear garden is a true highlight, beginning with a spacious patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A large timber shed with power and lighting is easily accessible from the patio. The garden extends to a generous lawn, enclosed by wooden fencing and mature flower borders. At the rear, a garden office and store offer versatile space, all while enjoying breathtaking views over the surrounding fields.
