Accommodation

A window overlooks the rear garden, while a breakfast bar provides additional workspace and storage. Further features include a head-height oven and doors leading through to the utility room and back into the hallway.

The utility room is a practical and welcome addition, fitted with a window and door opening to the rear of the property. There is space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer, keeping everyday appliances neatly out of the main living areas.

Also located on the ground floor is a bathroom comprising a bath and separate shower cubicle, tiled flooring, WC and wash hand basin set within vanity units, along with a radiator and window for ventilation. Completing the ground floor accommodation is an under-stairs airing cupboard and a separate cloakroom fitted with a WC.

To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms and a further single room. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe, dressing area and an en suite bathroom fitted with a shower, WC and wash hand basin.

The second double bedroom, also carpeted, features a large built-in wardrobe and enjoys views over open countryside. Bedroom three, currently used as a home office, is fitted with carpets and provides access to the attic.

Outside

Outside, the property sits within a generous plot offering clear potential for extension, further development or reworking into landscaped gardens, subject to the usual consents. A long, gated driveway provides ample off-road parking.

A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes, we can negotiate an agreement that suits both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes, a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.

Call us for information on any of these points.
