A timber gate leads into the enclosed garden and driveway area, with useful storage sheds and an outside tap. Although the original frontage faces Bridgend Road, the current owners make use of the driveway entrance, creating a practical day-to-day access directly into the kitchen.

The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/dining room, a bright and spacious area finished with tiled flooring and a contemporary navy blue fitted kitchen. A comprehensive range of base, wall and drawer units is complemented by matching worktops and upstands, with space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. There is a 1.5 bowl sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the driveway, a five-burner gas hob, high level double oven and a wall-mounted combi boiler. The room comfortably accommodates a four to six-seater dining table and enjoys an abundance of natural light through a large dining area window, two Velux skylights and a vaulted, skimmed ceiling with inset spotlights. A uPVC stable door provides direct access to the driveway, while openings lead through to both reception rooms and the family bathroom.

The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath with thermostatic rainfall shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Tiled flooring continues through from the kitchen, complemented by partly tiled walls, a heated towel rail and a vaulted ceiling with inset lighting and a Velux skylight.

Built-in storage cupboards sit within the alcoves, each enhanced with wall lighting, while the staircase rises to the first floor and a door leads through to the entrance porch. The porch has a uPVC double glazed door and window which lead out to the garden.

Accessed directly from the kitchen is a second generous reception room, currently utilised as a children's playroom. This versatile space could equally serve as a formal dining room, second sitting room, home office or hobby room, offering excellent flexibility for modern family life.

The first-floor landing is accessed via a wooden staircase with carpeted treads and provides access to the loft and all three bedrooms. The main bedroom is a double room overlooking the garden, offering ample space for freestanding wardrobes and additional furniture. Bedroom two is another well-proportioned room, currently arranged with a raised cabin bed but offering a practical square layout. The third bedroom is a comfortable single room with fitted carpet and a window to the side, with an additional internal glazed panel helping to maximise natural light onto the landing.

Outside, the property's original front garden now serves as the family's main rear garden, creating a wonderfully private outdoor space.

Decorative stone chippings, mature trees, established shrubs and natural hedging create a peaceful and secluded setting.
