The Home

Thoughtfully refurbished throughout, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a careful balance between retained character and contemporary comfort. Every improvement has been made with longevity in mind, creating a home that feels both welcoming and ready to enjoy from day one. Stepping inside, a broad entrance hall creates an immediate sense of space, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. To the front, the principal reception room is filled with natural light thanks to newly installed windows, while restored original floorboards bring warmth and texture. It is a room that feels equally suited to everyday family life as it does to quieter evenings at home.

To the rear, the kitchen has been completely updated with a clean, understated finish and enjoys pleasant views across the garden. Beyond, a bright conservatory extends the living space further, creating a natural transition between house and garden and offering a flexible room that can adapt to the seasons, whether as a dining space, playroom or somewhere simply to enjoy the outlook. Practical details have been carefully considered throughout. A ground-floor WC, generous lean-to providing useful utility and storage space, and excellent built-in storage all contribute to the ease of day-to-day living. Behind the scenes, the house has benefited from significant investment, including a full rewire, a new boiler and central heating system, replacement windows and doors, and a beautifully refurbished bathroom.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around the family bathroom, each enjoying a pleasant sense of light and proportion. Above, the insulated loft provides excellent storage and offers exciting potential for conversion in the future, subject to the necessary consents. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a home that combines thoughtful renovation with a calm and comfortable atmosphere, ready for its next chapter.

Outside

The approach is immediately inviting, with an attractive frontage framed by new fencing and mature planting. A shared driveway leads to off-street parking and a detached garage, which has recently been re-roofed, while side access provides an easy connection to the rear garden. Stretching out behind the house, the south-facing garden is a real highlight. Generous in size and enjoying sunlight throughout much of the day, it offers a wonderful setting for family life, entertaining or simply unwinding outdoors. The conservatory strengthens the relationship between inside and out, allowing the garden to become a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months. Combining considered modernisation with generous outside space and a layout that works beautifully for contemporary living, this is a home that feels settled, practical and full of potential for the years ahead.
