Located to the front left-hand side of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of basic timber-fronted base and wall units and provides ample space for a breakfast table and chairs. A two-basin sink with mixer tap is positioned beneath a front-facing window, and there is space for a freestanding cooker with an extractor hood above.

Walls are neutrally decorated, and the floor is of exposed concrete, ready to receive new finishes.
Garden Room
Located to the rear right-hand side of the property, this generously proportioned and versatile space is currently used as a hobby room and study area but would lend itself well to a range of alternative uses. Excellent natural light is provided by perimeter top-hung casement windows, making it equally well suited as a home workspace, or a space for nurturing plants and seedlings. A timber glazed pedestrian door opens directly to the rear garden.
Sunroom
Positioned to the rear left-hand side of the property, the sunroom offers a peaceful breakaway space with views over the rear garden through a three-unit casement window. A single-glazed internal window also casts borrowed light into the kitchen and breakfast area. With its quiet aspect and natural light, the room provides a lovely spot for morning coffee and the newspaper, or simply a place to sit and enjoy the garden outlook.
Cloak room
Accessed from the entrance hall, the cloakroom is fitted with a basic WC pan with low-level cistern and a corner wash hand basin with pillar taps. Natural light is provided by a single-glazed casement window to the side aspect, and the floor is finished with timber-effect sheet vinyl.
Landing
A spacious landing area with part-vaulted ceilings and a dormer window overlooking the rear aspect, providing good natural light. Hollow-core panel doors lead to the bedrooms and family bathroom. The floor is laid with exposed hardboard, allowing scope for the incoming purchaser to apply their preferred finish.
Master Bedroom
Located to the front right-hand side of the property, the master bedroom is a well-proportioned double room featuring part-vaulted ceilings and a two-unit casement window overlooking the side garden. The floor comprises exposed pine floorboards, ready to receive new finishes. A four-panel door provides access to the en suite.
Dressing Room
Fitted with a built-in four-door timber wardrobe and matching overhead cupboard doors, the dressing room benefits from natural light via a dormer window to the rear aspect. This useful ancillary space provides direct access to the en-suite and serves as a practical and private extension to the principal bedroom.
En suite
Fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a close-coupled WC, corner shower cubicle, and a ceramic wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, with a matching mirrored cabinet above. The floor is of exposed pine boards, offering scope for the purchaser to finish to their own preference. Natural light is provided by a double-glazed Velux-style rooflight, and the walls are neutrally decorated.
Bedroom 2
Located to the front centre of the property, Bedroom Two is a further double room featuring a part-vaulted ceiling and a two-unit dormer window providing natural light. Storage is provided by a low-level built-in two-door cupboard, and there is a hinged ceiling hatch offering access to the roof void.
Bedroom 3
Located to the front left-hand side of the property, Bedroom Three is a further double room with a two-unit dormer window overlooking the front aspect. A useful built-in over-stairs cupboard provides storage and houses the hot water cylinder, with slatted pine shelving. The walls are neutrally decorated, and a hinged ceiling hatch offers access to the roof void.
Bathroom
Located to the rear left-hand side of the property, the bathroom is fitted with a basic and dated three-piece suite comprising a bath with chrome mixer tap, close-coupled WC, and a ceramic wash hand basin with pillar taps. The walls are finished with original full-height ceramic tiling, and a single-glazed timber casement window to the side aspect provides natural light. The floor is laid with exposed hardboard, offering potential for replacement or upgrade.
Front aspect
The front elevation is framed by a range of established shrubs and trees, contributing to a mature and attractive setting. Some general cutting back would enhance the outlook and reveal more of the property’s frontage. A shared gravel driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles and leads to a single garage. A decorative metal gate, set within a brick archway, gives access to the main side and rear gardens.
Side garden
The principal garden lies to the side of the property and includes a recessed patio area adjoining the main sitting room, with double-glazed sliding doors providing direct access to the outside. A brick retaining wall with steps leads up from the patio to an elevated lawn, bordered by a variety of established shrubs and trees, including pear, plum, hawthorn, and apple. This larger-than-average garden enjoys a good degree of shelter and privacy, screened from neighbouring properties.
Rear aspect
A pathway leads around to the rear of the property, where a matching brick retaining wall and a single step provide access to a further lawned area with established perimeter shrubs and planting. While the lawn would benefit from some attention, the space offers scope for enhancement and further landscaping. A part-glazed pedestrian door provides access to the rear garden room, and the pathway continues along the left-hand side of the house to a gated entrance at the front. There is also a secondary access to the kitchen via a part-glazed timber door, which is showing signs of wear and requires repair or replacement.
Garage
A single brick-built garage with a timber-decked flat roof, tamped concrete floor, and an aluminium up-and-over vehicle door. Power and lighting are connected via a separate fuse supply, and a useful workshop area is located at the rear of the garage. Natural light is provided by a single-glazed casement window to the side aspect. A part-glazed pedestrian door to the rear right-hand side gives access from the side garden.
