About
This spacious five-bedroom detached family home offers versatile accommodation throughout and is ideally situated close to a range of local amenities, schools, and transport links.
With a private driveway providing parking for several vehicles, the property has been well maintained and improved by the current owners to create a modern and practical family home.
Upon entering, the hallway provides access to the first floor via a staircase and leads into the main ground floor accommodation.
To the right-hand side is the converted garage, now utilised as bedroom five, whilst still retaining useful storage space to the front behind a partition wall.
To the left-hand side is the generous lounge, featuring a large front-facing window allowing plenty of natural light.
A downstairs WC separates the lounge from the snug area, creating a further reception space ideal for family living.
Leading off the snug is the recently updated kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of modern units and integral appliances including an oven, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.
The kitchen/diner also provides access into the orangery extension, added by the current owners, offering an excellent additional reception room with French doors opening onto the rear garden.
To the first floor are four double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wadrobes. Bedrooms one and two both feature en suite shower rooms.
A three-piece suite family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.
Externally, the property benefits from a private rear garden featuring both patio and lawned areas, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining and family use.
