The room is large enough to accommodate a variety of dining room furniture, or other furniture if you wanted to use it perhaps as a family room or snug. Through an archway leads into the living room.

This has a window facing the front and an external door which leads to a shared covered porch with the neighbour and a pathway leading back to the pavement and main road.

The living room has a woodburning stove set withing an attractive brick and oak mantle open fireplace and brick and tiled hearth.

There are darker terracotta floor tiles, and this room is wonderfully cosy especially in the colder months.

From the living room and to the right can be found the family room/snug/playroom/potential Bedroom 4. This room has a window facing the side and a small cast iron feature fireplace.

From this room and turn right is a large cupboard under the stairs which my client uses as a pantry cupboard. On from this leads into the Kitchen.

The kitchen has a window facing the rear, and a glazed door opening out onto a small courtyard garden with a wooden storage shed and space for some outside furniture.

The shed has power and plumbing to it, and is where my client keeps their washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer.

The kitchen itself comprises of; worktops, inset sink unit with mixer tap, a range of wall and base units, integrated oven, integrated four ring electric hob with cooker hood above, and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer.

There is a small room off the kitchen with a window to the rear and is where my client has their dishwasher as there is plumbing.

The room also has a shelf and wall cupboard so could also be a pantry or store room. This completes the ground floor accommodation.

The stairs to the first floor rise from the back of the kitchen where three double bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found.

The main bedroom faces the side and is large enough for a selection of free standing bedroom furniture. The second bedroom faces the front and has two built in double wardrobes.

The bathroom is large in its proportion and comprises of; wooden flooring, airing cupboard with shelving, WC, white wash hand basin, white sunken bath and separate glass fronted shower cubicle.

This completes the first floor accommodation.

Agents Note The windows are all double glazed throughout the entire property, which does a huge amount to limit the noise of the main road inside the house itself, to the extent that it is barely noticeable.

There is an adjoining property which has right of access over the property’s land. Currently the garden is open but it could easily be fenced off making this more private if desired.

The Outside To the front there is a gravelled area which provides off road parking for three vehicles.

There is a large flat lawned garden which is perfect for a variety of outside furniture, and even a trampoline and football goal if desired.

There is a 16ft x 8ft Garden Room outbuilding with power and light which could easily be converted into a home office or hobby room, or perfect simply to store garden equipment and furniture.

There are high hedges and tress on the front boundary border which successfully mostly shroud the main road from view. The Area From the house, the high street of Newick is about a twenty minute walk.
