The lounge / diner is large and bright. There is a large window overlooking the front of the property and double patio doors that open into the garden. There is a feature fireplace and it has laminate flooring. The current owners have designated dining space at the front of the property, and there is a large 6 seater dining table and chairs with enough room to add occasional furniture. They have also designated space the other end for an open plan office area. This still leaves ample lounge space in the middle. It really is a large lovely space.

The South facing garden is a decent size and is low maintenance. There are two patio areas for the 'al fresco' days. There is a small lawn and a large garden shed. Whilst the garden is tidy, it is fair to say that the current owners keep it low maintenance because of their busy lives. However, a keen gardener has a blank canvas to turn it into a horticulturists heaven!

The master bedroom is situated at the front and has a large window overlooking the front of the property. It has a laminate floor and is a large double.

Bedroom 3 is a single bedroom and has a window overlooking the front of the property. It also has laminate flooring.
The family bathroom has the same 'funky' flooring as the entrance hall. There is a bathtub with mixer taps and shower attachment. There is a WC & wash basin. It also has the mandatory frosted window.
The front garden of this property is block paved, so once again it is extremely low maintenance. There is a small strip of lawn to tend to as well.
In conclusion, this 3 bedroom family home is located superbly well for all local amenities. It is a good size and is going to make some lucky couple or family a cracking home! The current owners have been very happy here but now are ready to move to pastures new. The new owners will undoubtedly be as happy here as the current occupants.
