On entering the property, you are welcomed into a pleasant entrance area which leads through to the spacious open-plan lounge and dining room. This impressive room provides a versatile and sociable space, equally suited to relaxed everyday living or entertaining guests. The generous proportions allow for clearly defined sitting and dining areas, while the attractive outlook over the surrounding greenery and Strawberry Fields parkland creates a wonderful feeling of space. The dining area also benefits from useful under-stair storage, providing practical additional space for coats, shoes and household belongings.

The kitchen is situated towards the rear of the property and is fitted with a built-in oven and hob, together with plumbing for a washing machine. From the kitchen, a door leads directly into the conservatory, creating a useful additional reception space and providing a lovely transition between the house and garden. The conservatory opens onto the private courtyard garden, which is low-maintenance and easy to enjoy, providing an ideal space for outdoor seating, a morning coffee or a quiet moment in the fresh air.

Also situated on the ground floor is the modern bathroom, conveniently positioned for everyday family living and guests.

Stairs rise from the living accommodation to the first floor, where there are two well-proportioned bedrooms.
