About
A detached two-bedroom home on Saffron Road with a generous rear garden and a ground-floor layout that offers considerably more living space than the frontage might suggest.
Extending to approximately 1,056 sq ft internally, the house has been enlarged to the rear and combines two good double bedrooms with generous everyday living space, a separate study and a substantial garden outbuilding.
The property also benefits from solar panels. The front door opens into the sitting room, where a bay window brings in good natural light.
An open archway connects this with the dining room, creating a useful relationship between the two principal reception spaces while retaining some definition between them.
Beyond, the kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly practical addition to the house, measuring around 16'9" x 12'1".
Rooflights and a broad run of windows make this a light space, with enough room for a table as well as extensive worktop and storage.
French doors connect the dining room and kitchen, allowing the ground floor to work well both day to day and when entertaining.
A small office provides a dedicated place to work from home, while a utility room and separate WC add useful practicality.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, together with a shower room. The principal bedroom is particularly generous at just over 14 feet wide.
The outside space is an important part of the property.
The rear garden offers a considerable amount of space, with a terrace immediately behind the house followed by lawn and more established planting towards the far end.
A detached timber outbuilding of approximately 165 sq ft provides significantly more than conventional shed storage; subject to a buyer's requirements, it offers useful scope for hobbies, a workshop or additional home-working space.
There is also access along the side of the house.
