We have benefitted from superb amenities, such as the schools, GPs, cafes, local shops and the Downs.

The community feel on the road is also fabulous and we will miss our tremendous neighbours when we move away. The area is vibrant and friendly and has been a great place for our family to grow.

The house itself has been a spacious yet cosy place to live, with ample space for our numerous hobbies! We will certainly miss the house, and garden with its array of urban wildlife!

And Waitrose, of course!" Approach - Retaining an attractive and well-maintained façade, the property offers off-street driveway parking for two vehicles to the front of the property.

Timber fencing, mature borders and useful pedestrian side access complete the approach.

Rear Garden - A lovingly and meticulously cared for rear garden featuring a vast array of mature trees and shrubs, with side and rear access.

Entirely level, and benefitting from a desirable westerly-facing aspect; ensuring sunshine through the afternoon and into the evening.

The garden features a large lawn area with deep borders, a large patio adjacent to the property - ideal for al fresco dining given its aspect - and a second, smaller patio space features towards the far end of the garden which currently houses a secure storage unit and further seating.

From the garden can also be found access to the garage.

The mature trees and shrubs, combined with timber fencing on three aspects, creates a sense of privacy and calm while in no way restricting the abundance of sunshine the garden benefits from.

The second reception room is located to the rear of the property and boasts impressive proportions (15'5"x 13'10").

A wide bay comprising four uPVC windows and French doors that lead to the rear patio invites in plentiful natural light.

Decorated immaculately in neutral tones, the room retains the original coving and picture rails.

Adjacent to this is a modern kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of white gloss base and wall-mounted units, marble-effect laminate worktops, an integrated hob, sink with drainer, and space for a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer.

To the far end of the room, the current owners have installed a large, low-lying uPVC window that allows a particularly pleasant outlook of the rear garden (with side access from the kitchen).

The ground floor is completed by a separate WC. First Floor - Ascending to the first floor, the landing provides access to four well-proportioned double bedrooms.

A family bathroom with a shower-over-bath and basin, alongside an adjacent WC, completes the first floor.

For those looking to expand, there is scope to create a substantial second floor by converting the loft, subject to necessary permissions.

Additionally, the roof (including soffits, fascia, and improved storm guttering) was replaced in November 2018, providing assurance of a major recent upgrade.
