To your left, the first of the versatile reception rooms comes into view, with low original timber-lined ceilings above and an attractive red brick inglenook fireplace, currently housing a cast iron wood-burning fire and a dual-facing aspect helping the room to retain natural light. Here, much like many sections of the ground floor, all new Amtico floor has been fitted, as well as all new timber-look double glazed windows. A secondary set of stairs is found here, tucked away next to the fireplace, taking you directly up into one of the double bedrooms on the first floor. Just beyond this room is a versatile family room with an impressive floor space, suited to potential choice of layouts or furnishings or uses, with a further garden room extension just to the side of this.

The kitchen is located in the centre of the home, having recently undergone a refurbishment and decorative change, with attractive tile splashbacks, a mixture of wall and base-mounted storage units and ample work surfaces, with flooring opening up to create the perfect space for a formal dining table. Through from the kitchen, a secondary hallway winds around the ground floor utility and pantry cupboard to take you towards the secondary access off the home, where a large driveway is accompanied by an electric vehicle charging point.
