The property With red brick and timber clad elevations, Number 6 Greenbanks offers a family home with up-to-date interior fittings, a neutral palette throughout and a layout which provides versality ideally suited to a modern lifestyle. Set into a sloping plot, the living rooms are situated on the first floor and have level access to the elevated rear garden via glazed sliding doors from the kitchen/breakfast room. Fitted with sleek, white wall and base level units, topped with granite work surfaces, the kitchen offers contemporary styling with lustrous tiling to the floor which reflects the light and provides a bright space for food preparation, family dining and entertaining. The adjacent sitting room features a bay window alcove with a south-westerly outlook, and a staircase which gives access to the second floor.

There are three bedrooms on the upper level, one with fitted wardrobe storage, and the principal room having a recessed window area which mirrors the architecture of the sitting room below. A well-appointed, fully tiled family bathroom has a shower over the bathtub, completing the top floor accommodation.

The ground floor of the home provides a flexible-use family room, along with a utility for appliances and storage of outdoor wear, as well as a cloakroom.

A length of pathway, edged by mature shrubs and with lawn to one side, leads to a natural area at the end of the garden, where a statuesque tree provides a cool, shady spot in the heat of the summer.
