A gated driveway offers generous, private parking and leads to the property. The front door is conveniently sheltered under a porch, opening into a practical entrance vestibule with access to a utility room. From the vestibule, you walk through to a bright hall with pared-back neutral décor and a warm wood floor. At the end of the hall to the left is a living room, where a large south-facing picture window captures wonderful open views and allows sunshine to stream in throughout the day. The living room’s spacious footprint allows for a choice of lounge furniture layouts, arranged around a brick fireplace (with an open fire) flanked by an alcove with storage. A neighbouring conservatory offers a versatile further reception area with French doors opening onto the garden, allowing for year-round enjoyment of the outdoor space. The extensive dining kitchen (which has a characterful stained-glass window and an open fire) represents a sociable space that is perfect for everyday family life and entertaining alike, with a large space for seated dining and a breakfast bar. It comes well-appointed with a wide range of classically styled wall and base cabinets, ample workspace, and splashback tiling. An LPG Aga stove (which is also the sole source of water heating for the household) is neatly housed within the cabinets, and an undercounter dishwasher, fridge and freezer are all included. The kitchen is supplemented by a useful separate utility room with a Belfast sink. One of the home’s four bedrooms is located on the ground floor, alongside a bathroom, offering potential to be utilised as a reception room if desired. This room features an attractive dual-aspect, corner window. The bathroom comprises a bath with a shower attachment and a WC-suite, enveloped by monochrome tiling. On the first floor, a landing leads to the remaining three bedrooms and a shower room. The sleeping areas are all neutrally decorated and two are wood-floored, with the principal bedroom carpeted, and all three have built-in storage and access to eaves storage. The shower room comes complete with a corner shower enclosure, a pedestal basin, and a WC. The home is kept warm by LPG heating and benefits from double-glazed windows throughout. Externally, the house is set within generous, beautifully maintained gardens, including a large, well-kept lawn, leafy trees and shrubs, and a gravelled area for outdoor seating, as well as a shed for useful storage. Private parking is provided by a gated driveway and a tarmac driveway.
