The property is approached via a well-kept front garden adorned with a variety of mature plants and flowering shrubs, creating an inviting first impression. An adjacent driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads along the side of the property to a detached single garage, located to the rear.

Internally, the accommodation comprises a spacious central hallway which gives access to all principal rooms. The sitting/dining room is a generous and versatile space, with a window to the side and sliding patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors. The room also features an electric fireplace and has ample space for both lounge and dining furniture.

The second and third bedrooms face the front of the property, with the third offering the ideal layout for a home office or study. The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, separate shower cubicle, and wash hand basin, with adjacent cloakroom/WC featuring a second hand basin—both rooms are ripe for modernisation.

The standout feature of this home is undoubtedly the rear garden—an expansive and wonderfully established outdoor space that provides a tranquil retreat and a real sense of privacy. From the paved patio area, perfect for entertaining or relaxing, the garden stretches deep into the plot, with lush lawns, well-stocked flowerbeds, mature trees, and a beautiful pond. A greenhouse, washing line, and practical garden storage area to the rear complete this idyllic setting.
