The accommodation extends to an impressive 1,810 sq ft across three floors, having been comprehensively extended over the years to provide exceptional flexibility for growing families. It also benefits from new double glazing across the majority of windows and doors installed within the last 18 months.

Upon entering through the enclosed porch into the welcoming hallway, you are guided into the principal living areas. Positioned at the front of the property, the main living room serves as a cosy snug, complete with a bright bay window and a striking feature wall housing a newly fitted fireplace with a wood-effect mantle and stove hearth. This room opens seamlessly into an adjoining second lounge area before flowing through to the extended dining room with high vaulted ceilings, skylights, and French doors out to the garden. For those looking to put their own stamp on the home, there is incredible scope to reconfigure the entire downstairs layout to create a seamlessly integrated, contemporary open-plan family kitchen/living space fitted with bi-folding doors.

The kitchen is a vibrant, character-filled hub of the home, featuring soft pink tongue-and-groove cabinetry paired with butcher-block wood worktops and vibrant botanical floral splashback tiling. Designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, it boasts a generous central island with a breakfast bar, complemented by statement multi-coloured glass pendant cluster lighting above. Equipped with integrated double ovens, an electric hob with a stainless steel extractor canopy, and tiled flooring, the kitchen offers plentiful storage with open shelving display units and directly accesses the rear patio through glazed double doors.

On the first floor, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous double with custom floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes and overhead storage. A family bathroom serves this level alongside a separate en-suite shower room.

The second floor is dedicated to a spacious double bedroom set into the roof structure with dual skylights, providing a private sanctuary away from the main living areas.
