The property is approached via a glazed front door which accesses the spacious dual aspect sitting room which takes in views to both front and rear garden. There is an attractive red brick feature fireplace with a wooden lintel which provides a focal point. A ledge and board door leads to an inner lobby which accesses the useful understairs storage cupboard beyond which is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room.
This room has a triple aspect with views to the front and rear garden and is extensively fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units with integral appliances to include a 'Hotpoint' oven and grill, and a 'Hotpoint hob with an extractor hood above. There are extensively tiled splashbacks and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink, and space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. The room is distinctly segregated by a change in the flooring from the oak effect vinyl through to attractive polished quarry tiles. A ledge and board door gives access to the stair well and a further panelled door leads to a useful and practical utility room, which has a range of floor mounted units with a stainless steel sink and plumbing for a washing machine beneath. Beyond this is a useful rear lobby/boot room providing further storage space which directly accesses the rear garden.
The first floor is equally appealing with the stairs rising to the landing from which the bedrooms are accessed. There are two spacious bedrooms, the largest of which overlooks the rear garden and has an attractive Victorian cast iron fireplace. The second bedroom and office both overlook the garden and have built in wardrobes. The bedrooms are served by a well appointed family bathroom which has a 'P' shaped bath with a tiled surround and shower above, pedestal wash hand basin and matching WC, and a useful storage cupboard with shelves and oak effect vinyl flooring.

The rear garden is truly delightful and offers a high degree of privacy and is walled on three aspects and boasts a variety of mature trees which provide interest and colour. There are large expanses of lawn, adjacent to which is a terrace accessed via the boot room which is perfect for entertaining. There is a locked outside storage cupboard providing useful secure space.
