The well-proportioned lounge has a coal effect gas fire with feature surround, a laminated wooden floor and a wide window to the front, providing ample natural light. A door opens to the separate dining room which has the same wooden laminate floor as the lounge. This dining room is bright and airy with the natural light from the UPVC double-glazed French doors and side panels. The French doors open on to the patio and garden.
The fitted breakfast kitchen has a range of base and eye level units with worksurfaces. The inset sink unit is set below the wide window overlooking the garden, a fitted electric hob with extractor over and a built in electric oven plus space for further appliances and a useful understairs cupboard. A uPVC double glazed door opens to the garden and internal doors lead back to the hall and to the utility room which has a range of cupboards and worktops, space for appliances and the wall mounted combination central heating boiler. The kitchen/ dining room has huge creative scope; these bright rooms offer the potential to be the heart of family life.
To the first floor the landing has a built-in airing cupboard and doors opening to the four bedrooms. The front facing master bedroom enjoys far reaching views of the open countryside and has the benefit of a fitted ensuite shower room.
Bedroom two is a spacious, bright double room with fitted wardrobes to one side.
Bedrooms three and four are bright and airy rooms offering versatility for family life.
Completing the accommodation is the large, fitted family bathroom, also having a white suite with tiled splash backs and half tiled walls.

There is a further elevated paved and secluded seating area. This garden has a private and peaceful character. Gated access leads to the side where there are further well stocked beds and a large vegetable patch. To the front is a garden laid to lawn with borders. A private, long tarmac driveway provides ample off-road parking, widening to the front of the home and leading to the additional parking space and the detached double garage that has an electric up and over door, power points and a pedestrian door.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 5, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
