The property benefits from a number of quality features, including underfloor heating in the kitchen and hardwood flooring across much of the ground floor.
Further enhancements include the addition of two air-conditioning units to the snug and principal bedroom, and a Kinetico water softener system.
The home also benefits from a Podpoint electric vehicle charging point in the driveway. A professionally installed intruder alarm enhances security.
Having been a much-loved family home for many years, it offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and personalise the property to suit their own tastes and requirements.
The accommodation opens with a welcoming entrance hall and a conveniently positioned cloakroom.

With a breakfast bar, space for a table and direct access to the garden terrace, it is well suited to everyday family life.
Bi-fold doors lead into the snug, a versatile room overlooking the garden, while the adjoining dining room is filled with natural light and opens onto the terrace through sliding doors.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, alongside three further bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes and one currently arranged as a home office, all served by a family bathroom.
Set back from the road behind a low wall, the property enjoys a generous block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking and access to the integral garage, which benefits from built-in storage.
The EV charging point adds further convenience.
The fully enclosed rear garden is reached via a side passage and includes a generous paved terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining, along with an additional patio area with a pergola.
Beyond, the lawn is framed beautifully by mature trees and shrubs, creating a private, peaceful setting with year-round colour, shade and interest. A shed provides useful garden storage.
