The accommodation includes two large reception rooms and three double bedrooms. The main living room is situated at the rear, extending to 19ft, and features bi-fold doors that open to the patio and southerly facing back garden. The living room opens onto the 16ft dining room, which has access to the refitted contemporary kitchen featuring a Rangemaster cooker. Adjacent to the kitchen, the 16ft utility room has matching refitted contemporary units and a laundry area. There are three double size bedrooms and a spacious refitted family bathroom, with a white suite and a shower enclosure. The much improved specification includes gas central heating with a replacement Baxi combination boiler, replacement uPVC double glazing, uPVC roofline and upgraded electrical rewiring. This impressive detached property combines so many appealing features and is a rare find, so early viewing is recommended.
