There is also the added bonus of a further room, which could be used as a fifth bedroom, children's playroom or work-from-home office.
The downstairs accommodation is completed by the addition of a handy shower room with WC.
The first-floor landing provides access to the loft space and houses three generously sized double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobe cupboards, and a single bedroom, all of which are served by the family bathroom.
To the front of the home, there is ample off-road parking on the driveway, whilst to the rear of the property there is a generously sized, private and enclosed garden, with a patio area providing the ideal space for a spot of al fresco dining and an extensive area laid to lawn.
