The Howdens kitchen features quartz worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including a neff oven, hob and extractor, together with an AEG dishwasher.

The original integral garage has been converted to create a valuable additional room, currently incorporating space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, storage units and a built-in desk.

The generous rear garden incorporates a substantial garden cabin, providing an impressive additional entertaining and recreational space complete with a pool table, double fridge, wall-mounted TV and seating. The exterior has been finished with grey cladding, creating a low-maintenance and weather-resistant finish.

The garden also benefits from a five-seater hot tub, creating a private area for relaxing and entertaining, together with an outside tap and three external power supply boxes providing practical facilities throughout the garden.

To the front, a large driveway provides parking for up to five cars, complemented by an external EV charger with a 7-metre cable for convenient charging from the driveway.

Further benefits include an insulated and boarded loft with ladder access, double glazing, a Worcester condensing combination boiler which has been regularly serviced, and a Hive-controlled heating system. The property is also equipped with CCTV covering both the front and rear of the house, together with a house alarm featuring sensors to most windows and doors, providing additional peace of mind.
