This rarely available three bedroom semi-detached home occupies a delightful position close to the church and gastropub and offers bright, airy and well appointed accommodation throughout. The property also benefits from a substantial rear garden extending to approximately 250ft, whilst offering excellent scope for extension or enlargement, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The property is approached via a shingled driveway providing useful off road parking. Internally, you are welcomed by an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, whilst to the right hand side is the principal reception room, the living room. Decorated in neutral tones, the room enjoys a pleasant front aspect and is flooded with natural light.
Beyond here is the kitchen/diner room, fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units complemented by work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been incorporated within the design, alongside space for additional free standing appliances. To one side a cupboard/utility space offers capacity for a washing machine and tumble dryer, whilst a separate pantry offers further ample food storage or space for a fridge/freezer.
An inner lobby provides access to the garden as well as leading through to the bathroom, which has been fitted with a three piece suite and has been fully tiled.
Moving upstairs, the first floor landing leads to all accommodation on this level. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front elevation and benefits from its own cloakroom comprising a low level WC and wash hand basin. The remaining two bedrooms overlook the rear garden and enjoy attractive views beyond.
The rear garden is undoubtedly a standout feature of the home, offering impressive length and privacy. Immediately outside is a paved patio area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, beyond which the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with borders containing an array of plants and shrubs. To the far end, a charming ‘secret arch’ opens into a small orchard containing apple, plum and pear trees, whilst enjoying stunning views across open fields and King’s Wood beyond.
It is further enhanced by being offered for sale with the advantage of no upper chain.
