Back inside the house, downstairs accommodation also includes a welcoming entrance hall, where clever use has been made of the under stair space to house a clothes dryer. Also off the hall is a guest bathroom that is large enough to accommodate a washing machine.
From the hall, carpeted stairs lead to the first floor landing, off which are a hot-press, family bathroom and three bedrooms, including the main bedroom with ensuite. There is also an attic suitable for storage.
Well-presented and tastefully decorated throughout, the property is enhanced by a host of energy-efficient features, including air-to-water central heating, double glazed uPVC windows and a high level of insulation, which taken together add up to a toasty A3 BER rating.
