WHAT THE VENDORS SAY
"We’ve absolutely loved living here, the house is so light and airy, and it gets the sun all day which makes it feel bright and uplifting, whatever the season. The garden was a big draw for us too, it’s such a lovely space to relax in. We also love how peaceful the road is, being a bit of a cul-de-sac, you don’t get people driving down unless they live here. And the location has been perfect, with great local shops, cafes and schools nearby, plus plenty of green space just a short stroll away. It really has been a brilliant place to call home."

From the moment you step through the front door, this beautifully presented home feels warm, welcoming and full of charm.

To your right, the living room is a cosy, stylish space, perfect for curling up on the sofa or hosting friends. The bay window lets in loads of natural light, and the feature fireplace with a electric fire adds character and warmth. A door at the back leads through to the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining space.

The dining kitchen is a brilliant setup for modern life. There’s plenty of worktop and cupboard space thanks to modern shaker-style units, plus room for a dining table in front of the window overlooking the garden. Whether you’re cooking a quick midweek tea or hosting a laid-back brunch, it’s a space that works hard and looks good doing it. A door leads straight out to the garden, ideal for summer BBQs and entertaining, and there’s even a storage cupboard under the stairs to keep everything neat and tidy.

Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms and a third room currently set up as a home gym, perfect as a nursery, study or spare bedroom. The main bedroom comes with built-in wardrobes, and the bathroom has a fresh, modern finish with a P-shaped bath and shower over, ideal for a quick morning dash or a long soak at the end of the day.

Outside, the lifestyle perks continue. There’s a driveway with room for two cars at the front and a path down the side leading to the rear garden. It’s a real highlight, beautifully landscaped with a good-sized lawn, raised flowerbeds and a stunning patio at the end that catches the last of the evening sun. It feels like your own private oasis, perfect for unwinding with a drink or hosting friends and family. And because it’s fully enclosed, it’s also ideal for kids to play or pets to roam safely.
