Accommodation

Entering through a double-glazed front door, you are greeted by an inner hallway with space for coats and boots. A separate utility room provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and houses the Ariston electric boiler. A ground-floor WC includes a hand wash basin, vanity unit, and an opaque window. The kitchen/dining area is well-lit with inset spotlights and designer pendant lighting over the dining area, and it enjoys views over the garden and surrounding meadow. The kitchen is equipped with a range of wall-mounted and under-counter units with a sleek matt finish, complemented by laminate worktops and upstands. It includes a four-ring electric hob with a glass splashback and extractor fan, integrated double oven, full-size dishwasher, and a sink with a drainer overlooking the garden. There is also a useful understairs cupboard for additional storage. The spacious living room spans the full width of the property, flooding the space with natural light. It features an electric stove in the chimney breast, and double doors open out onto a large decking area that offers superb views of the meadow.

Stairs rise from the main hall to the first floor.

First Floor

The staircase and landing are newly carpeted, extending through to the three bedrooms. The two front-facing bedrooms benefit from views of the front garden, while the third bedroom looks out over the rear garden and valley. Bedroom 2 includes a handy built-in cupboard, while the landing provides space for an occasional table or a desk. The family bathroom features a double-ended bath with central mixer taps and a hand shower attachment, as well as a wall-mounted shower valve over the bath. There is also a WC, hand wash basin with a mixer tap, and a vanity unit with storage drawers beneath.

Garden & Grounds

Accessed via a pedestrian paved pathway, the front garden is mostly laid to lawn, leading to the storm porch and front door. A hard-standing area on the left provides space for either a small car or bike. The rear garden is accessible via a path running along the back of the property. Double doors from the sitting room and a single door from the kitchen open onto a large deck that spans the rear of the property. Under the decked area, there is useful storage space, and steps lead down to a lawned garden with plenty of potential for gardening enthusiasts to make their mark. The rear garden offers stunning views over the valley, and we are advised that the adjoining meadow is owned by a consortium of local residents.
