Upstairs, the staircase opens onto a bright and spacious landing, enhanced by a large window allowing plenty of natural light into the space. Bedroom one is a pleasant double room overlooking the front and benefits from its own en suite shower room, comprising a WC, wash basin and enclosed shower cubicle. Bedroom two is another particularly substantial double bedroom, enjoying a dual aspect to the front and side, while the third bedroom is also a comfortable double room with a window to the side. The fourth bedroom provides an ideal single bedroom, home office or study, although there is scope to accommodate a small double bed if required, and the room also benefits from useful built-in storage. Serving the bedrooms is the family bathroom, comprising a WC, wash basin and panelled bath with shower over and a fully tiled surround. An airing cupboard provides further storage from the landing, while a hatch gives access to a fully boarded loft. Although requiring renovation and decorative updating throughout, the size and configuration of the existing accommodation provide tremendous scope for a purchaser to create a fantastic family home, with further potential for extension and reconfiguration to increase both bedroom and living space, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Beyond the patio is a beautifully maintained central lawn, complemented by a selection of established and neatly pruned trees that add colour, character and interest to the garden. A brick-paved pathway continues towards the far end, where a further circular patio provides another attractive seating area that captures the sunshine beautifully. The garden enjoys an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion, with established hedgerow boundaries creating an attractive leafy backdrop. At the very rear is a further practical section providing space for a timber storage shed and composting area, alongside a couple of mature apple trees.
