With an appealing façade, featuring white-painted elevations and bay windows, this versatile property provides a bright and airy family home with sociable reception areas and four bedrooms of similar dimensions.

A central porch at the entrance provides a welcoming and practical threshold with space for storage of outdoor wear. The hallway gives access to a formal dining room which is filled with natural light and offers the perfect setting for gatherings of family and friends. Glazed, bi-folding doors lead through to the adjoining kitchen affording easy convenience and the option to close-off the room for cosy entertaining away from the preparation zone. Fitted with sleek, white, contemporary cabinetry, the kitchen has stone work surfaces and a large concertina window providing an airy room with simple refreshment transfer to the covered patio outside. The inside to outside living environment continues in the sitting room, where folding doors offer a seamless link to the rear garden. This triple aspect relaxation zone is centred around a modern, free-standing stove and provides a generous reception space for down-time. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility room with external door and a tucked-away cloakroom facility.

The stairway rises from the reception hall giving access to the first floor which comprises four bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The principal room enjoys the easterly aspect with the large bay window allowing light to flood inside, and an en suite is hidden behind a wall of decorative timber panelling. Additional accommodation is provided in a large weatherboarded outbuilding with kitchen/bar area and workshop, which offers multi-use opportunities including a games room, studio or excellent work from home environment.

A low-level brick wall forms at boundary at the frontage, where planted beds are inset between pavers and vehicular access is gained onto hardstanding to provide parking for several cars. The rear garden offers an interesting outside environment with partition created by a timber pergola and a length of trellising which frame designated zones, whilst a pathway allows a journey through the plot. There is a covered terrace adjoining the back of the house with opportunities for outdoor dining and steps leading down to a further patio. An area, laid to lawn, is perfect for children’s play and is bordered by mature beds. Additional paving surrounds a pond and raised veg beds at the end of the garden, alongside the versatile timber outbuilding.
