There is an excellent selection of local food retailers, delis, bakeries and butchers as well as larger chain supermarkets. The town centre also has excellent amenities including several banks, gp surgeries, dental practices and a fabulous leisure centre to name but a few.

The oak doors, with attractive handles, work in harmony with the decor and add an additional element of style and elegance. Stairs, with a storage cupboard beneath, lead to the first floor and there are various doors leading off.

The first main door opens to the ground floor WC which is a superb asset as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities.

A pair of oak French doors open from the dining room into the lounge which is gloriously light and bright courtesy of a large bay window overlooking the front of the property.

A central light fitting and ceiling spotlights add to the brightness of this warm and welcoming room.

A pair of French doors open to the fabulously landscaped rear garden from the dining end of the kitchen. The garden showcases an office pod, with power and lighting, which could easily be utilised as a glorious garden room if you so wished.

Taking the stairs to the first floor and passing the half-landing with a large window allowing for natural light, the main landing, with loft access above, opens out to three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a useful airing cupboard.
