The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall with radiator and access to a conveniently positioned cloakroom, fitted with a close coupled WC and wash hand basin.

The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of white fronted base and wall mounted units, complemented by generous work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a four ring electric hob with extractor above, electric oven and slimline dishwasher, together with space for a washing machine and full height fridge freezer.

A returning breakfast bar provides an informal dining area whilst creating a natural division between the kitchen and the sitting room. Positioned to the rear of the property, the sitting room enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden, with French doors allowing natural light to flood the room and providing an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A useful understairs storage cupboard completes the ground floor accommodation, whilst independently controlled heating zones serve the ground and first floors.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing, which provides access to the loft space and the bedroom accommodation.

The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned double room overlooking the rear garden. Beautifully presented, it features decorative wall panelling and fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors, providing excellent hanging and shelving space. A further useful overstairs cupboard offers additional storage.

The second bedroom, positioned to the front of the property, is another good sized double room, currently arranged as a home office, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation.

Completing the first floor is a contemporary family bathroom, fitted with a modern suite incorporating a bath with thermostatically controlled shower over.
