With ample natural light, integrated appliances, and the potential for extension (STPP), it offers both function and future scope. Adjacent is a large utility area housing the dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and ample storage, with further access to the garden.

Three ground-floor bedrooms offer excellent flexibility, including a generously sized double with a newly upgraded en-suite, ideal for use as a ground-floor principal suite or a guest room. A family bathroom with a classic white suite and tiled finishes serves the remaining bedrooms.

First Floor Accommodation Upstairs, the bright landing with vaulted ceilings and wooden balustrades leads to three further double bedrooms.

The front lawn is generous and well-maintained, while the driveway leads to a double garage with electric roller door, storage loft, deep sink, and housing for the Worcester boiler (serviced annually). The rear garden is a true sanctuary, landscaped and thoughtfully designed for year-round enjoyment. Multiple seating areas include a large patio, a pergola-covered retreat, and composite decking, perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. The generous lawn is bordered by raised beds and colourful borders. Additional features include a summerhouse, greenhouse, log shed, a teepee, and a gazebo, all backing onto open fields for uninterrupted countryside views.
