Outside is a major feature, with the property occupying a generous plot surrounded by substantial wrap-around front, side and rear gardens, offering plenty of potential for keen gardeners, growing families or those considering future extension possibilities, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

With gas central heating, double glazing and excellent scope for improvement already in place, this is a fantastic opportunity to create a wonderful long-term family home.

Frontage & Approach
The property is approached through an attractive lawned front garden, complemented by a variety of established shrubs and planting which provide a pleasant green outlook.

A pathway leads through the front garden, with traditional picket fencing defining the front boundary, before arriving at the entrance porch. A double glazed UPVC entrance door opens into the hallway.

Entrance Hall
The entrance hall provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation and features a radiator, textured ceiling and two double glazed windows to the front aspect, allowing plenty of natural light into the space.

Stairs rise to the first floor, whilst doors provide access to both the living room and dining room.

Living Room
The living room is a particularly appealing reception room, enjoying an excellent dual aspect position with double glazed windows to both the front and rear elevations, creating a wonderfully bright living space with views across the surrounding gardens.

A feature exposed brick fireplace with tiled surround provides an attractive focal point, whilst two radiators and a textured ceiling complete the room.

Folding partition doors connect the living room with the adjoining dining room, providing the flexibility to keep the two reception spaces separate or open them together when entertaining family and friends.

Dining Room
The separate dining room provides ample space for a family dining table and enjoys a double glazed window overlooking the rear garden.

Further features include a radiator and textured ceiling, whilst the connecting doors to the living room create excellent potential for buyers wishing to create a more open-plan arrangement in the future.

Kitchen
Positioned to enjoy views across the private gardens, the kitchen offers an excellent opportunity for replacement and redesign.

The existing kitchen comprises a range of base and eye-level units with work surfaces and inset single sink unit, together with space for a cooker, fridge, freezer and plumbing for a washing machine.

A double glazed side aspect window overlooks the garden, whilst a double glazed UPVC door provides direct access outside. The wall-mounted Vaillant gas boiler is also positioned within the kitchen.

Ground Floor Cloakroom
A particularly useful addition to the family accommodation, the ground floor cloakroom comprises a low-level WC and wash hand basin.

Further features include a radiator, textured ceiling and obscure double glazed side aspect window.

First Floor Landing
Carpeted stairs rise to the first floor landing, where two double glazed windows to the front aspect provide excellent natural light.

The landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family shower room, together with access to the loft space.

Bedroom One
The principal bedroom is an impressive double room and, much like the living room below, benefits from a wonderful dual aspect position with double glazed windows to both the front and rear elevations.

A characterful open fireplace with tiled surround creates an attractive focal point, whilst a built-in wardrobe with additional overhead storage provides useful storage space. Further features include a radiator and textured ceiling.

Bedroom Two
Bedroom Two is another well-proportioned bedroom positioned at the rear of the property, enjoying views across the garden.

The room benefits from a built-in cupboard housing the hot water cylinder with additional overhead storage, together with a radiator, double glazed window and textured ceiling.

Bedroom Three
Bedroom Three also overlooks the rear garden and provides a versatile space suitable as a child's bedroom, guest room, nursery or home office.

The room benefits from a built-in wardrobe, radiator, double glazed rear aspect window and textured ceiling.

Shower Room
The first floor shower room has already benefited from some modernisation and features a refitted walk-in shower enclosure with electric shower and modern splashbacks to water-prone areas.

The suite is completed by a low-level WC and wash hand basin, whilst obscure double glazed windows to the front and side provide plenty of natural light whilst retaining privacy. Further features include a radiator, carpeted flooring and textured ceiling.

Gardens
The extensive wrap-around gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's standout features and provide an excellent degree of outdoor space extending across the front, side and rear of the home.

Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are complemented by a variety of established mature shrubs, bushes and planting, creating an attractive and leafy setting around the property.

Two useful brick-built outbuildings provide excellent external storage, whilst an outside water tap is also fitted.

The boundaries comprise a mixture of timber fencing and established mature hedging and planting, helping to create a pleasant degree of privacy.

Parking is currently available on-road.

For buyers looking beyond the existing accommodation, the size and arrangement of the plot may also provide interesting potential to extend or reconfigure the property in the future, subject to all necessary planning permissions, building regulations and other required consents.
