There are feature beams within this room, ceiling spotlights, a central heating radiator and various power points around.

UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS

Welcome upstairs. The landing is bright and continues the period features, as well as enjoying a large double glazed opening window on the landing to ensure plenty of natural light to flow through upstairs. The landing has access to the two upstairs bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is located on this top floor, a spacious bedroom, tastefully presented and boasting the most delightful view of the woodlands to the rear, which is certainly a pleasant place to start your day, as well as enjoying your garden view.

There are power points within the floor, and a handy space around the corner, which is perfect for some additional storage and clothes hanging space. The bedroom has a central heating radiator with thermostatic control and ceiling light.

Just as a helpful idea, as the garage is on the one side of this property, there may be opportunities to extend the upstairs accommodation out and over the garage, making for additional bedroom space. This is of course subject to the correct planning permissions.

This bedroom benefits from an en-suite WC, incorporating additional storage space. The room has a toilet with dual flush, a white hi-gloss vanity unit for toiletries, and a wash basin set above with chrome mixer tap. This room has feature beams to add some character, and provides a general space additional storage, or you may wish to add units further down the line.

There is an opening double glazed window to the front elevation, bringing in plenty of natural light, as well as ceiling lighting and numerous power points and central heating radiator.

In addition, there is access into the loft space which is a surprisingly generous and opens up a number of opportunities. Ideally, subject to the correct permissions, with the creation of a dormer window to the side and window to the front, then this would make for an additional bedroom. Alternatively, without as much alterations, this room would work really well for the younger member of the family to have a great hideaway/games room for their friends to come round. There are many things you can do with this space with some imagination. However, as stands, provides fantastic storage.

The rear garden is accessed from the living room or from the garage, as well as having access around the side with the gate leading back to the front driveway, and on the opposite side, a door into the garage.

There is a handy undercover brick building, which is perfect for some outdoor seating on the miserable days, but also providing some space for your barbecue, and would make for a really cosy sitting area. There’s also an outside tap, a useful storage shed, and door into the garage.
