The front lounge spans the width of the property, creating a comfortable main living area with plenty of natural light.
A gas fire forms the focal point, giving the room a warm, settled feel, while the proportions allow for both seating and dining if needed.
To the rear, the kitchen has a classic pine finish with wood-panelled ceilings, adding character and a slightly retro feel.
There is ample storage, integrated appliances and workspace, with room to update over time if desired . From here, steps lead down to a substantial cellar, a real asset to the property.
With excellent head height and a generous footprint, this space offers genuine potential-whether as a workshop, hobby area, home gym or future conversion into additional living space.
Upstairs, the first floor provides three bedrooms, including a well-sized double and two singles that could work equally well as children’s rooms, a home office or guest space.
The bathroom is fitted in white and serves the floor comfortably, with scope for modernisation depending on taste. Externally, the property continues to deliver.
A paved courtyard leads out to a further paved garden area, creating a low-maintenance outdoor space that can be enjoyed year-round.
