With countryside walks on your doorstep and the pretty town centre just under a mile away, this unusually spacious and attractively presented semi has a great deal to offer, with the added potential for extension in the future.

The Property

If you're looking for a smaller home but with really good proportions, this surprisingly spacious semi-detached house offers just that. With good square rooms and nice ceiling heights typical of the era, it has been modernised over the years to create a lovely home with a plot that gives you scope to extend the accommodation further in the future.

Currently, you enter into an entrance lobby with built-in cloaks cupboard for storage, also including the electric meter and consumer unit. A practical tiled floor leads through into the inner hall where the stairs rise up to the first floor. At the front of the house is a pleasant sitting room with fireplace as a focal point, inset with a gas real flame fire. To the rear is a lovely modern fitted kitchen / dining room overlooking the rear patio and garden. Fitted with a range of off white units including floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers, the work surfaces incorporate a sleek modern single bowl single drainer sink, electric hob and double undercounter oven. There's space for your dishwasher and further space for another appliance to the side, whilst under the stairs is an area providing enough space for an additional up right fridge freezer if you prefer. The original chimney breast now houses a gas fired cast iron stove for a further cosy glow in the winter months. Beyond the kitchen the rear lobby doubles as a useful utility area with space for your washing machine and room for a tumble dryer on top. A handy downstairs shower room acts a useful second set of facilities for two and four-legged members of the family.

First Floor

The spacious first floor landing is flooded with natural light from the south side and enjoys far reaching views. There's space for an extra piece of furniture here, such as bookcase or work desk. A hatch provides access to the loft space and there's a modern fitted shower room to one side. This is fitted with a suite including WC, pedestal wash hand basin and spacious double shower cubicle. The adjacent cupboard houses the wall-mounted gas boiler for the central heating and hot water. There are two good size double bedrooms, both with views out over the surrounding farmland and countryside. The main bedroom also benefits from a built-in wardrobe.

Outside

To the side, solid timber gates open onto an attractive patterned concrete driveway providing parking and turning space and access to the detached single garage, with double timber doors. Beyond the garage is an additional area of garden, currently laid to lawn with timber raised bed, and trees including Crab Apple and Hazel. To the side of the garage is an additional gravelled parking area perfect for a motorhome, caravan or trailer perhaps. Further gates lead through to an attractive patio adjoining the rear of the house, in the same patterned concrete finish as the driveway. This is a great "outdoor room" in the warmer months, with ample room for an outside dining set, whilst a timber pergola provides a further area in which to relax and enjoy the garden. An old stone wall has steps leading up to the lawned garden with timber summerhouse to one side. The garden enjoys an outlook over a paddock at the rear and is enclosed by timber fencing with mature shrubs and trees.
