A glazed door from the dining area leads into the conservatory at the rear, which enjoys lovely garden views and opens onto the decked seating area via French doors. The spacious kitchen is dual aspect and benefits from a second entrance into the conservatory as well as a side access door. It offers ample wall and base units, generous worktop space, an integrated oven and hob, and space for additional appliances.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile side extension – ideal for multi-generational living or working from home.

Step outside, and the front garden is laid to lawn with mature planted borders and a turning space within the ample driveway. The driveway continues down the side of the house, providing access to a detached tandem garage with further parking available. The rear garden is a true highlight – beautifully arranged with a decked seating area off the conservatory, a central lawned area leading to a charming pond and mature trees, and a final section beyond the pond ideal for use as a vegetable plot or allotment. This area also benefits from a brick outbuilding and greenhouse, perfect for keen gardeners or those looking for additional outdoor storage or workspace.
