The attractive traditional exterior is finished in red brick beneath a tiled roof, with distinctive leaded-style windows and bay windows adding character. To the front is an established garden together with a private driveway providing off-street parking, while the property is further complemented by a garage.

Ground Floor

The entrance door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with a staircase rising to the first floor, a window providing additional natural light and useful storage incorporated beneath the stairs.

The principal lounge is an especially comfortable reception room.

The kitchen is extensively tiled and, while now offering an excellent opportunity for updating to contemporary tastes, its existing layout makes particularly efficient use of the available space. An opening at the rear leads directly into the utility room, creating a practical connection between the principal kitchen and ancillary accommodation.

The utility room provides valuable additional space away from the main kitchen and is currently arranged with further fitted base cupboards and work surfaces, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine and room for additional freestanding appliances.

The room has plenty of natural light from a rear-facing window overlooking the garden, while a glazed external door provides direct access to the rear garden. The utility room also provides access to the adjoining cloakroom
