Description

This property begins with an enclosed entrance porch that provides a practical transition from the outside world, allowing for convenient storage of coats and shoes. Stepping inside, the main hallway serves as a central hub that connects to the main living areas alongside a discreet ground floor WC. The living room is spacious and inviting, featuring a charming fireplace at its center, which could serve as a focal point around which to arrange seating. A large window allows natural light to fill the room, enhancing its airy feel. With neutral decor in place, potential buyers have the opportunity to infuse personal style into this space, whether opting for modern aesthetics or traditional charm. The kitchen is laid out in a functional galley style with ample worktop space and fitted cupboards that lend themselves to some updating or redesign. Currently operational, it lacks some contemporary touches but offers scope for enhancement—ideal for those looking to create their dream cooking area. There's also an area designated for casual dining, adding to its practicality. Ascending the stairs leads to a landing connecting three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is generously-sized and bathed in light thanks to its large window; its straightforward layout facilitates easy customization according to individual needs. The second bedroom is similarly spacious while the third single bedroom adds versatility, suitable for various purposes like an office or nursery. The bathroom features essential fittings including a bath with shower overhead but could benefit from modernisation. Updating this space would not only improve function but also enhance aesthetics based on personal preferences. Outside, the property sits on a generous plot featuring a garden primarily laid to lawn with established hedges offering privacy. The garden appears slightly overgrown but presents tremendous potential for reimagining outdoor spaces—whether through landscaping or creating defined seating areas. Additionally, outbuildings present opportunities for extra storage or workshop space, further enhancing practicality and appeal.
