A generous family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and includes both bath and shower facilities.
The property is set back from the road behind a neatly maintained front garden and a private driveway that leads to a detached double garage, providing ample off-road parking and secure storage. A gated side access connects the front and rear gardens, creating a sense of privacy and practicality. To the rear, the garden offers a well-sized, enclosed outdoor space laid mainly to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs that provide colour and screening throughout the seasons. A paved terrace runs directly from the house and provides space for outdoor dining or entertaining, with good sunlight and shelter. The garden has a relaxed, established feel and offers plenty of potential for keen gardeners or those looking for a family-friendly outdoor area. The garage is substantial and could also lend itself to workshop use or additional storage beyond parking.
