This delightful property is beautifully maintained inside and out, with a variety of character features such as beamed ceilings, parquet floors and original fireplaces. Presented in a traditional style that lets the character shine, the house offers an exciting opportunity for modernisation as well as no onward chain.

The accommodation is generously proportioned and is well laid out, with flexibility to the ground floor and an inviting entrance hall with a galleried landing above, creating a wonderful first impression. The three reception rooms and conservatory at the rear all overlook the garden, and provide space for a sitting room, formal dining room, snug/study and a relaxing garden room. At the front of the house, the kitchen is a good size: the welcoming family space has room for a table, and, though it would benefit from cosmetic modernisation, it has fantastic potential. In addition to the kitchen there is a separate utility room, a cloakroom with WC and internal access to the attached garage, which offers scope for conversion (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). Upstairs, the principal bedroom is well sized and has a fireplace and an en suite bathroom. Of the three remaining bedrooms two are interconnecting, creating an ideal shared space for children. The family bathroom and separate WC completes the accommodation.

Outside

The house has excellent kerb appeal, with a generous driveway to the front providing ample off-street parking and access to an attached garage, with mature trees and manicured shrubs providing an inviting first impression. The rear garden is attractively landscaped with a generous lawn extending to a rose garden at the rear, with established borders of trees, shrubs and vibrant and colourful borders. A raised terrace at the back of the house is ideal for garden entertaining, with lovely views over the garden.
