Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed by a practical entrance porch, ideal for storing coats and shoes, with a window to the side. A further door opens into the entrance hall, which provides access to the sitting room and dining room.

The sitting room is an inviting space featuring a large stone fireplace with a gas fire, a sizable bay window to the side, and an additional window to the front, ensuring plenty of natural light.

The dining room is spacious enough for a large dining table and boasts an exposed stone wall, an inset bookshelf, and a charming chimney feature.

A door leads from the dining room to the kitchen, which has been sympathetically extended to include a bright breakfast area. The kitchen features a range of fitted, painted, wooden wall and base units with beech work surfaces, a Stoves range-style oven and hob, a Belfast sink with a mixer tap, and space for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Natural light floods the room through a large front window, ceiling windows, and tall side windows. There is also a convenient door leading out to the rear patio area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, currently utilised as a pantry with shelving, cupboards underneath and space for a freezer.

A further door from the dining room leads to an inner hall with a back door opening to the driveway and access to a downstairs cloakroom. This cloakroom includes a low-level WC, a wash basin with cupboards underneath, a window to the front, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The studio, formerly a single garage, offers versatile usage with double French doors leading to the driveway and a window to the side.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor landing. The light-filled primary bedroom enjoys dual aspects with windows to the front and side, as well as fitted wardrobes and cupboards. Bedrooms two and three are both double bedrooms, with bedroom three featuring a fitted storage cupboard. The recently refitted shower room boasts a contemporary suite with a sink set into a vanity unit with storage underneath, a low-level WC, a shower cubicle with a glass screen, a heated towel rail, and a Velux ceiling window. A further staircase ascends from the first-floor landing to the attic room, a substantial space perfect for storage or as a hobby room.

Gardens

The gardens of St Probus envelop the property, providing various quiet seating areas. A pedestrian gate opens to a pathway leading to the front door, which extends to a secluded gravelled area. The pathway continues around to the rear garden and driveway.

The rear gardens are enclosed by walls and are primarily laid to lawn, featuring a number of productive fruit trees, pretty, well-stocked boarders and a shed equipped with light and power. Adjacent to the kitchen door is a charming, sunken patio area, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The gravelled driveway, accessed from Marston Road through double gates, offers ample parking for three cars.
