Full Details:
Living Space
The house has an attractive traditional feel with a central entrance hall beyond the front porch that connects the downstairs living spaces. To either side of the hall are two reception rooms which provide plenty of space and offer flexibility for family life.
To the right of the hall is a cosy lounge with bay window to the front, and a chimney breast with fireplace and gas fire, both of which contribute to the homely traditional feel. On the other side of the hall is a larger room with ample space for both a dining area and a second lounge area, featuring two substantial windows that allow a bright and airy ambience.
At the end of hall, the downstairs WC/cloak is finished to a contemporary standard with tiling to the floor and half tiled walls. There’s a large closet here which provides a good amount of storage, and for extra practicality there’s also plumbing for the washing machine.
To the rear of the home is a modern integrated kitchen with cottage grey shaker style cabinetry, a stylish contrast wood-effect worktop, tiled splash backs and a complementary grey tiled floor. Integrated appliances here include a five-plate gas hob with Caple extractor hood, electric oven, Neff microwave and Neff dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and traditional white sink with chrome mixer tap.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Upstairs a large landing with window continues the spacious, airy feel. The sleeping and bathing arrangements at this property are well suited for family life, with four well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The two bedrooms at the front provide opportunity for modernisation and are both good sized doubles which benefit from fitted furniture and three-piece en-suites, both including a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. The third bedroom to the rear is also a double with fitted furniture, and the fourth is currently used as an office/workroom. Within the family bathroom is another three-piece suite, comprising a large corner bath, wash basin and WC – this room is a generous size too, and provides scope to modernise to your liking.
