4 bedroom detached house for sale

The front door opens into a welcoming and spacious entrance hall featuring original parquet flooring that runs throughout the downstairs. The present owner has recently installed a new front door along with new internal doors, enhancing both security and aesthetic appeal. Immediately to the left of the hallway is a convenient downstairs WC.

To the right hand side of the hall sits a versatile study, complete with a double fitted cupboard. This room could easily function as a child's playroom, guest room or home office, dependent on personal requirements. A generous under stairs storage cupboard provides an excellent solution for coats, shoes and general household storage.

The fitted kitchen is light and bright, offering ample wall and base units, a stainless steel sink and space for integrated white goods. A serving hatch connects through to the adjacent dining room. There is also useful side access leading directly to the rear garden.

To the rear of the property is a fantastic open reception space, currently arranged as a lounge and dining room, cleverly separated by double wooden doors to offer flexibility. A gas fireplace creates a cosy focal point, while a large window and sliding double doors allow plentiful natural light to flood the room and provide direct access onto the garden. For those wishing to reconfigure or further modernise, there is considerable scope to adapt the layout, subject to the relevant advice from a structural engineer.

Upstairs, the main landing leads straight ahead to the family bathroom, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, WC and pedestal basin. There is also a useful airing cupboard, home to the hot water tank, offering practical linen storage.

All four bedrooms are generous doubles. Two of the bedrooms benefit from eaves storage, maximising space and functionality. The well-proportioned rooms make the property perfectly suited to growing families or those seeking additional space for guests or home working.

To the front, there is comfortable driveway parking and access into the double garage, providing excellent storage or potential workshop space.

There is also further access from the garden into the double garage for added convenience.

The accommodation throughout is neutrally decorated, providing a superb blank canvas for the next owner to personalise to their own taste and style. Gas central heating serves the home.
