Description
A wooden composite door takes you through to the entryway of the property, where a set of stairs rises to the newly decorated accommodation. The first-floor landing features a useful cupboard with fitted shelving that discreetly houses the boiler, with doors leading to all primary rooms.
The open-plan kitchen and living space is bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed throughout. The kitchen area comprises a modern suite with attractive Karndean flooring, LED downlights, a range of wall and base units, and marble-effect work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a Neff four-ring induction hob, a Neff extractor hood, a Neff electric oven, and a built-in bin, alongside dedicated plumbing and space for additional appliances. The adjoining living and dining area transitions into carpeting and is filled with natural light from both the windows and a skylight.
The primary bedroom is a well-proportioned double room with a large window. It is served by a newly updated en-suite shower room equipped with Karndean flooring, a shower cubicle, a wash hand basin, a low-level WC, a heated towel rail, and a skylight. The second bedroom is currently styled as a study and features new carpet alongside a large wardrobe with a hanging rail. The main family bathroom features wood-effect laminate flooring, tiled splashbacks, a panel-enclosed bath with an overhead shower, a folding screen, a wash hand basin, a WC, an extractor fan, and a heated towel rail.
Outside, the property includes two garages providing secure parking and excellent storage solutions. The garage on the right is equipped with power, lighting, and an under-stairs storage area, while the second garage features an up-and-over door.
