Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer dishwasher and washing machine with space for a range cooker with extractor hood over.

The kitchen has two large windows that overlook the garden and a back door that opens to the side of the home.

The shower room has underfloor heating along with wall panel heater and comprises of a three-piece suite to include a shower cubicle with sliding door. Low flush WC and wash hand basin.

The fourth bedroom, although the smallest, is versatile, with the current owners utilising the room as an office space.

The bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom comprising a four-piece suite which includes a bath, separate shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the outside, a shingle driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage.

Adjacent to the driveway is a lawn that surrounds a feature tree and with neatly tended planted borders that results in a very pleasing kerb appeal.

If not used for parking the garage provides useful extra storage and utility space including for a tumble dryer and freestanding fridge/freezer.

At the rear is a fantastic family garden with a lawn sandwiched between two large, paved patio seating areas connected by a path.

The patios can take a range of outdoor furniture ideal for simply relaxing and soaking up the sunshine or to entertain family and friends.
