Set back from the road with a side entrance, the door opens into a vestibule with a handy walk-in storage cupboard, before moving into the hall, laminate flooring flowing throughout most of the home. Towards the end of the hall on the left is a generous-sized living/dining room. Perfect for socialising, relaxing, and dining, this reception room affords excellent floor space for comfortable furnishings and a family dinner table. The room (with additional storage) enjoys lots of natural light with a large window framing a delightful view of the garden. Next door, the modern kitchen is presented with white-gloss cabinets and matching worktops, in addition to muted mosaic splashback tiles. French doors bathe the space in sunlight, opening onto the private rear garden.
There are two generous double bedrooms. The first bedroom boasts much larger proportions and overlooks the front garden. The second bedroom comes with a built-in mirrored wardrobe. Completing the home is a bright three-piece bathroom with a storage-set basin, countertops, a hidden-cistern toilet, and a bathtub with an overhead shower and glazed screen. An efficient gas central heating system (with a recently-installed combi-boiler) and double glazing throughout provide year-round comfort and efficiency.
In addition to a private front garden, the rear garden enjoys a large sunny lawn, a communal drying green, and a private shed for storage. Unrestricted, on-street parking is also available.
