Approaching The Property

This semi-detached home has a handsome red brick facade with an original detached brick built garage to one side and off road parking in front of the garage. A high gate between the garage and the property ensures security to the rear of the house.

Ground Floor

High ceilings and large windows are features throughout this cosy and welcoming home. From the rear window in this wide hallway light streams in and gives views to the pretty rear garden. Wooden flooring is throughout the lobby and continues into the dining room, a carpeted staircase with carved spindles and a sturdy handrail leads up to the first floor. A stripped pine door opens into the bright living room with its light stone hearth and surround, encompassing the original ornately tiled fire place with built in low cupboards either side of the chimney breast.

The rear dining room has a woodburner which is recessed within the chimney breast with a delightful rustic red brick surround. Built in seating and cupboards make this room very practical as well as having a comfortable charm. Flowing off from this room is the kitchen which is decorated in subtle green, white and taupe tones including the vinyl flooring, tiles and the 'Shaker' style base and wall units. Below the long work surface is space and plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. At the furthest point of the kitchen is a door leading to the garden and a breakfast bar that overlooks the garden, an ideal place to start the day and enjoy a morning coffee.
