Offered for sale with no onward chain, it is a home with an easy, uncomplicated layout that works particularly well for family life.
Inside, a welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal living spaces.
The lounge sits to the front, with a wide bay window bringing plenty of natural light into the room, while the kitchen beyond provides good storage and workspace.

The outside space is a real strength. To the front, a broad lawn sits alongside a concrete driveway with parking for approximately three cars.
Behind the house, the substantial enclosed garden unfolds across paved terraces and generous areas of lawn, with established boundaries, a recently planted flower bed and timber shed.
