The house consists of; four double bedrooms, en-suite shower room, family bathroom, loft room, entrance porch, downstairs cloakroom, separate utility room, fully fitted kitchen / dining room, living room and an extremely versatile extra reception room.

The house is approached by curved stone steps to the main front door. Inside there is a useful entrance porch which provides space for coats and shoes. An internal door leads in to the living room which is an extremely light room with two large windows which face the front and a electric flame effect fire with black surround. The Kitchen / Dining room is located from the living room at the back of the house with windows overlooking the rear garden and side of the house. There is a door which leads from this room directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen has been recently completely re-fitted to a high standard and comprises of; a good range of white high gloss wall and base storage cupboards and drawers, integrated gas hob with extractor above, integrated oven, integrated dishwasher and space for a free standing American Fridge Freezer. The room can comfortably accommodate a large dining room table and chairs. From the Kitchen / Dining room can be found three further rooms. One is the study which has a window overlooking the garden and is the perfect place to work from home or as a snug for the family. The other room is the utility room which has plumbing and space for a washing machine, space for a dryer and is also an excellent space for additional storage. The downstairs cloakroom leads from the utility room with a window facing the rear, WC and wash hand basin. The final room which completes the ground floor is located again off the Kitchen and is an extremely versatile space. This large room is accessed down a few steps and measures 18’ x 9’1. It has a window which faces the front and a large storage cupboard which also houses the boiler. This room could be used in an multitude of different ways including; a playroom, games room, large home office, gym, potential downstairs bedroom 5 or even as a formal dining room.

Stairs rise up from the living room to the first floor. On this floor are four double bedrooms, one en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. The main master bedroom faces the front of the house with two windows allowing a large amount of natural daylight into the room. This room benefits from an en-suite shower room with wash hand basin and storage cupboard under, and a shower cubicle. There is one further bedroom which faces the front of the house, and the other two bedrooms face the rear.

The property also benefits from a large loft space which has a fold down loft ladder built into the hatch. This is another fantastic space as it has a velux window which allows natural daylight into this area. It also has electric power sockets up in this space which could allow for alternative uses than just storage such as perhaps a work space, teenage den or play area for the children.

Outside to the front there is a large block paved driveway providing parking for three vehicles. The rear garden faces in a South Westerly direction. It is mainly laid to a family friendly lawn, with a decked terrace at the top of the garden providing a wonderful space for outside al fresco entertaining. My clients have installed two very useful wooden storage cabins, one at the front of the house by the driveway, and the other at the back of the house to the side. Both of these storage units are large enough for a range of garden equipment and family bikes etc.
