Approaching the property, a tarmacadam driveway provides off-street parking and access to a single garage equipped with lighting and power, while pedestrian access and raised, walled beds add kerb appeal to the frontage.
Step inside through the part-glazed hardwood front door to a spacious hallway with under-stairs storage and a handy cloakroom featuring a low-level WC and hand wash basin.
The separate kitchen is fitted with wooden wall and floor units, worktops, and tiled splashbacks, alongside practical features such as an integrated electric fan oven, four-ring gas hob with extractor, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a tumble dryer.
Direct side access adds convenience.
The heart of the home is the dual-aspect living room and dining area, styled with dado rails, ceiling lights, and a decorative real flame effect fire—ideal for cosy evenings.
Double doors lead to the bright conservatory, which boasts laminate flooring, heating, and access to the easily maintained rear yard—perfect for alfresco dining or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee.
Upstairs, the landing leads to three double bedrooms, two overlooking the rear aspect, and one with built-in wardrobes and a distinctive rug well.
The family bathroom is equipped with a shower cubicle, sunken bath, pedestal hand wash basin, and twin windows for ample natural light.
Outside, the rear yard is fully enclosed, with flagged and decked areas for low-maintenance enjoyment, plus gated access to the driveway.
The single garage also provides extra storage or workshop potential. With its enviable Gainford location and enormous scope for improvement, this detached home is brimming with possibilities.
