The Tour

Set behind a low front wall and established hedge, the house opens via a traditional portico into a welcoming entrance hall. Immediately to the left, the full-length double reception room retains its period charm, with decorative ceiling mouldings, tall skirting boards, and a classic front bay window. Light oak flooring runs underfoot, and the clean, neutral finish provides a calm and versatile backdrop for modern living.
To the rear, the extended kitchen and dining space offers a bright, practical zone for everyday living and entertaining. Finished with contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and mosaic tiled splashbacks, the room enjoys excellent natural light via a rear window and glazed door, leading out onto the garden.
A downstairs bathroom and access to the basement level — ideal for storage or utility use — complete the ground floor layout.

The first floor comprises three generous double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom finished with contemporary fittings. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the house, with a large bay window offering a pleasant front aspect, high ceilings and soft carpet underfoot.

The top floor hosts two further bedrooms, one currently arranged as a home office, along with a second family bathroom. This level provides excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or remote working needs, while still preserving the home’s cohesive flow and proportions.

The garden is a calm and private retreat, extending to approximately 30 ft and framed by timber fencing and brick boundary walls. Planted borders and a mature tree provide softness and privacy, while a paved side return offers space for outdoor dining or storage. The garden is directly accessible from the kitchen, allowing for easy indoor-outdoor living.
