The property comprises of:

ENTRANCE HALL 1.81m x 1.24m (5'11" x 4'8")
Enter into the property from the front garden path. This hallway gives you enough space to take off your outdoor clothes before going any further into the house. The stairs to the first floor are directly in front of you and the lounge is to the right.

LOUNGE 4.23m x 3.84m (13'10" x 12'7")
This room has plenty of natural light flooding in from the large bay window. The room has a really nice bright feel to it with the modern grey laminate flooring and the white decor with a focal point of a wood fireplace housing a coal effect fire. A great space for all your seating and media needs.

KITCHEN 2.88m x 3.86m (9'5" x 12'8")
This spacious room is fitted with a range of wood base and wall units with a new free standing gas cooker with extractor hood above and under counter space for a washing machine. There is space by the door for an upright fridge/freezer and also the added bonus of not just one but two store cupboards, so plenty of room to store those cost cutting bulk buys. You'll also be able to fit a small dining table in the room as well.

CONSERVATORY 1.53m x 2.24m (5'0" x 7'4")
This small conservatory is an added bonus to the property so you can enjoy your morning cuppa in peace. This is accessed from the kitchen and provides access to the rear garden and extra w/c.

GROUND FLOOR WC 0.85m x 1.00m (2'9" x 3.3")
An extra loo is always a bonus to any home and with this being located where it is, it's easy to access from the garden so no need to traipse through the house to the upstairs for that needed comfort break.

STAIRS and LANDING
The stairs are carpeted and this follows through to the landing. This gives access to the w/c, bathroom and both bedrooms.

MASTER BEDROOM 2.79m x 4.24m (9'1" x 13'11")
This is a double room to the front of the house. This master has fitted wardrobes, chest of drawers and a walk in store too so space galore for all your items. With all the fitted items you just need your bed to make it your inner sanctum to chill in after a busy day.

BEDROOM 2 3.78m x 2.91m (12'4" x 9'6")
This smaller second double room is to the rear of the property. It has a handy store cupboard fitted with pole and shelf. This would make a great guest room or a functional workspace if not needed as such.

BATHROOM 1.72m x 1.51m (5'7" x 4'11")
This is fitted with a new bath and wash hand basin. The bath is fitted with a shower attachment from the taps and a glass shower screen. The wash hand basin is fitted within a vanity unit giving a modern splash to the room.

W/C 1.71m x 0.74m (5'7" x 2'5")
A great idea to have a separate toilet as it adds privacy and functionality to this home.

EXTERIOR
To the front you will find a raised paved area perfect for pots to add a splash of colour with steps and path to the front door to the side of it.
To the rear you will find a garage and a path to the side of the garage with a gravel border to the other. This leads to a small paved area to the front of the conservatory and kitchen where you may fit a small bistro set to enjoy some fresh air or even have lunch alfresco.
