There is a window overlooking the charming front garden while allowing natural light to flood the space. Additional highlights include space for a slot-in cooker, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a convenient glazed door leading to the outside.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the remarkably spacious living/dining room awaits. This outstanding space has a stunning fireplace as its focal point, complete with a wood-burning stove for cosy gatherings during colder months. Full-length glass sliding doors open up to the enchanting rear garden, infusing the room with abundant natural light.

The second bedroom, positioned at the rear, presents another generously sized double room with built-in wardrobes and picturesque views overlooking the rear garden.

Completing the accommodation is the bathroom comprising a low-level WC, a washbasin set upon a vanity unit, and a bathtub with a shower over. Tasteful tiling adorns the walls, and an obscure-glazed window on the side ensures both privacy and natural light.

Extending approximately 40 meters in length, this meticulously maintained haven features a paved area that expands to a pathway along the side. Raised stone beds with a captivating array of plants and shrubbery adorn the patio, creating a serene ambiance. The pathway leads to a magnificent, well-kept lawned garden boasting mature trees and thoughtfully designed borders. Delightful seating areas provide the perfect spot for relaxation and reflection, while a shed and greenhouse cater to the avid gardener's needs.
