The current owners have renovated throughout: new kitchen with island, refurbished bathroom, new carpets, fresh decoration and double glazing. Interior rooms are bright and well proportioned — three double bedrooms (one with double doors out to the front garden), a large lounge and extensive hallway storage.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, freehold tenure, no flood risk and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. There is scope to extend or reconfigure subject to planning, useful for buyers wanting to add value or adapt the layout.
