On the first floor, there are two lovely double bedrooms at the rear of the house with built-in storage and far-reaching views; one bedroom includes a cupboard housing the gas boiler. The third bedroom has been cleverly designed with a bespoke hand-built cabin bed and storage. The former bathroom has been completely renovated into a sleek, contemporary family shower room with a low-profile walk-in shower, vanity wash hand basin, and WC, highlighted by stylish, waterproof wall panelling for easy maintenance.

Outside

The generously sized front lawn offers excellent potential for creating off-road parking, subject to the necessary approvals. The previous owners installed a prefab garage in the rear garden for bike storage, accessible via the existing side gate. Additionally, there is a convenient outside tap and power points, along with a log store. The garden is tidy and presents a blank canvas for a keen gardener, while also being low-maintenance for busy families, featuring both a lawn and a paved patio, all enclosed by fencing.
