About
This property is ideally situated in a peaceful, non-estate location, set back from the road and offering generous parking space, a double garage with a hobby room above, and a private, enclosed rear garden.
With a highly adaptable layout, the home features two bedrooms and a family bathroom on both the ground and first floors.
Inside, a spacious entrance hall provides a warm welcome, with stairs leading to the first floor, a handy storage cupboard, and elegant antique-style flooring.
The sitting room is a large, inviting space with a feature fireplace that includes an inset electric fire. There are custom-built cupboards with display shelves and book shelving.
French doors open to a spacious conservatory extension, which boasts stylish porcelain flooring and further French doors leading to the garden.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with tasteful cabinetry, offering plenty of work surfaces, an inset one-and-a-half sink with a mixer tap and drainer, a four-ring ceramic hob, double oven, extractor fan, and space for both a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.
Just off the kitchen is a convenient utility room with matching cabinetry, work surfaces, a single sink unit, drainer, and space for the usual white goods, along with a freestanding Worcester Bosch oil-fired central heating boiler.
Upstairs, the galleried landing includes a study area and two double bedrooms.
The master bedroom features built-in wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom with both a tiled shower cubicle and a spacious Jacuzzi corner bath.
Externally, the property is approached via a gravel driveway, providing parking for three to four cars and leading to the double garage with an electric up-and-over door, power, and light.
A fixed ladder leads up to the hobby room above-an ideal space for a home office.
