Upon arrival, you're greeted by a low-maintenance front garden and off-road parking as well as a tandem double garage. There's also potential to create further parking with existing block paving.

A separate utility room offers additional storage and laundry facilities, and a downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts three of the five bedrooms, including two with en-suite shower rooms and built-in wardrobes. A versatile fifth bedroom makes an ideal home office or nursery, and the spacious family bathroom includes a separate shower, bath, and space for extra storage.
