Situated in a non estate location the property has undergone an extensive program of improvement and upgrading by the current sellers to the highest of standards with some stunning decorative ideas.

The property has a lounge with separate dining room and a spacious kitchen plus three double bedrooms on the first floor. The extension has created a 14'3 x 7'9 study would make a superb office for somebody to work from home or could easily be a fourth bedroom. Furthermore a large family shower room is situated off the study/bedroom and this would therefore equally make an ideal annexe with it's own access, being on the ground floor for an elderly person, a guest suite or even teenager accommodation.

With south facing Velux style roof light windows to these rooms they are both very sunny light and airy.

Indeed the entire house gives a really sunny warm feel with easterly and westerly facing windows meaning every room gets the sun for at least part of the day.

But that's not all - gardening fans will be in their element with this 145' easterly facing rear garden complete with a summerhouse, a timber workshop, a large 10' x 8' shed, a x 10' x 8' greenhouse, and lean to covered area and additional small shed all which will remain.

In recent years the property benefits from complete rewiring with all walls re-plastered and ceilings skimmed. New double glazed windows have been installed and a regularly serviced gas boiler serves replacement radiators. The property has completely new flooring throughout including wood style laminate flooring in the dining room and all three bedrooms.

The rear part of the kitchen is a new Wren kitchen less than two years old and the extension has underfloor heating to the tiled floor throughout.
