Ground Floor
The entrance hall sets the tone for the home, with original parquet flooring and bespoke storage cupboards finished with walnut frontage. The kitchen/dining room retains its distinctive 1960s butter-yellow cabinetry, giving the room a unique retro feel. There is space for a freestanding cooker, washing machine, slimline dishwasher, fridge/freezer and dining table. A stainless-steel sink sits beneath the window, while a door opens into a useful pantry with shelving. The rear-facing outlook takes in the garden, and a side door provides direct access outside. The sitting room is a welcoming space, with engineered oak flooring and a log burner set within a recess on a slate hearth. Bespoke cabinetry provides shelving and cupboards for media equipment, while bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, bringing plenty of natural light. To the front of the property, a versatile, spacious room with large built-in wardrobes has previously served as a bedroom and dining room and is currently used as a gym. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary shower room with underfloor heating, mirror and obscured window, fitted with a corner shower, wall-hung WC and countertop basin set on bespoke cabinetry.

First Floor
The landing provides access to the loft, as well as an airing cupboard. To the right, the principal bedroom suite occupies the rear of the house with views over the garden. The bed sits beneath a dormer window, creating a lovely focal point within the room. The en-suite bathroom has been thoughtfully designed, combining a freestanding bath beneath a striking vertical accent strip of herringbone tiling, WC and wooden vanity unit with countertop basin and mosaic detailing. An illuminated mirror, stylish pendant lighting and black heated towel rail complete the look. A Velux window with blind brings in natural light, while additional storage incorporates an electric point, offering flexibility for a tumble dryer or other appliances. Bedroom Two is a generous double, positioned to the front of the property and enjoys views across the park. Duck-egg-blue fitted cabinetry incorporates a desk and drawers, while a large built-in wardrobe and overhead cupboards provide ample storage.

Outside
To the front, a tarmac driveway provides parking for two vehicles. A wooden gate to the side leads through to the rear garden. Extending to approximately 90ft, the rear garden attracts an abundance of wildlife and offers a lovely balance of lawn, established planting and areas for outdoor entertaining. Immediately outside, a patio provides room for garden furniture, with picket fencing separating this area from the main lawn. Established borders run along both sides, with a hedge to the left and wooden fencing to the right. A pathway follows the left-hand boundary to the far end of the garden, where a sandstone paved area framed by wooden sleepers creates another attractive area to sit and enjoy the surroundings with a gate providing access to Westcombe. A three-bay covered log store provides useful storage, while the timber workshop in the bottom corner benefits from insulation, lighting and electrics. In front of the workshop, the fully insulated garden studio offers excellent flexibility as a home office, creative workspace or hobby room. It includes lighting, electrics, racking and an uninterrupted 5 GHz Wi-Fi network connection. Outside, reinforced decking extends the usable area, providing a suitable setting for a garden suite or hot tub.
