Accommodation

The accommodation is well presented with some lovely features and, if required, offers potential, with a small degree of remedial works, the opportunity to create a small ground floor, self-contained annexe. The front door opens into a small porch and hallway with under stairs cupboard off. A glazed door then opens directly into the open plan double-aspect, kitchen/living/dining room. This versatile space features the kitchen, with a selection of modern yet in keeping cabinets with an integrated range cooker and dishwasher, Belfast sink and solid timber countertops. Plenty of natural light is provided through windows to the front and rear as well as a bi-fold door opening to the rear decked terrace and garden beyond.

Also on the ground floor is a cosy sitting room with solid beech parquet flooring, again with bifold doors to the rear terrace, and an enclosed, log effect, living flame fire. Off the kitchen is a lobby/boot room with windows and door to the front of the house, which leads through to the area which could potentially provide an annex, the lobby/boot room, becoming a separate entrance for this area, currently arranged to provide a utility space and a ground floor bedroom or further reception room with access to the rear garden.
