House For Sale £599,000
This superb property provides bright and spacious accommodation arranged over three floors, retaining original and more modern features, including uPVC double glazing throughout, wood floors, picture rails, coved ceilings and skirting boards. The current owners have carefully and artfully blended the old with the modern to create an elegant, stylish home and a low maintenance sunny garden completes the picture for this truly special property.
The property is approached by a cottage garden picket fence with gateway and path, with borders on either side, leading to the front door and entrance to a concrete driveway providing off-road parking.

From the kitchen is the door to the utility room, which has space for a washing machine and dryer, two base cupboards and work surfaces above, and provides access to a wet room that is fully tiled in a fabulous classic white brick style, wash hand basin sitting atop a gorgeous chest of drawers, shower and WC.

This wonderfully bright room with skylights on either side is arranged with the bedroom on one side of the staircase and a large dressing area to the other, as well as a walk-in storage area.
