The layout is traditionally arranged and well suited to comfortable, long‑term living: three generous bedrooms (one with en‑suite), a family bathroom with separate shower and a large dining area ideal for home entertaining. The enclosed rear garden offers privacy with established borders and paved patio space for easy maintenance.
Important sale details: the property is offered at auction under the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should note a non‑refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600) plus a £349 Buyer Information Pack. Completion is required within a 56‑day reservation period. These charges are additional to the sale price and should be considered when budgeting.

The home is chain free, in a very low‑crime, affluent neighbourhood close to well‑rated schools and local amenities, making it an appealing, low‑hassle option for retiring couples or buyers seeking roomy single‑level accommodation.
