Upon stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into the entrance porch.

This room enjoys views over the rear garden and provides a door leading to the single driveway.
The first floor opens onto a generous landing area. Bedrooms three and four are both double rooms positioned at the front of the property, each benefiting from a handy built-in storage cupboard.

This second bedroom is a sizeable double overlooking the garden and the open fields beyond. The family bathroom features a walk-in shower, basin, WC and a large airing cupboard.
Ascending to the second floor, you’ll find bedroom one — a substantial double complete with an en-suite bathroom offering a bath, basin, and WC.
Outside, you’ll find ample off-road parking conveniently situated on a spacious shingle driveway, providing plenty of space for multiple vehicles. The front garden is sizeable and predominantly laid to a well-maintained lawn. You will also find a range of fruit trees here. The garden wraps around the entire property and as you continue to the rear gardens, you will enjoy views over the fields behind as well as an area of lawn to the side aspect and vegetable patches to the rear.
Overall, this home has been carefully and tastefully renovated to blend modern and timeless appeal. Its spacious layout, combined with the beautiful outdoor areas, makes it an ideal family home!

We use a government-approved electronic identity verification service to ensure compliance, accuracy, and security. This is approved by the Government as part of the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with HMRC. The cost of anti-money laundering (AML) checks are £30 including VAT per person, payable in advance after an offer has been accepted. This fee is mandatory to comply with the regulations and must be paid before a memorandum of sale can be issued. Please note that the fee is non-refundable
