Accommodation
Kitchen/ Dining Room - 3.53 x 3.59m The kitchen/dining area is a bright and functional space with a country-style charm, featuring tiled flooring and a large rear-facing window that offers pleasant views of the garden. A solid-fuel stove adds warmth and character to the room, ideal for cosy evenings or supplementing the home's heating. The layout includes simple built-in storage, open shelving for display, and ample space for a dining table and chairs. While the kitchen units would benefit from upgrading, the room presents a solid and spacious foundation ready for modernisation and personalisation. A rear door offers convenient access to the yard and garden area outside. Bathroom - 1.93 x 2.62m The property includes a spacious, fully tiled wet room, designed for accessibility and ease of use. It features a walk-in shower area with electric shower unit and wall-mounted grab rails, making it ideal for individuals with mobility needs. A classic white pedestal sink, WC, and wall mirror complete the suite. A large frosted window provides natural light while maintaining privacy. While functional, the bathroom would benefit from cosmetic updates to modernise the space and enhance comfort. Primary Bedroom - 3.32 x 3.59m The spacious primary bedroom is positioned to the rear of the home and offers a peaceful, private retreat. It features a large window that brings in natural light and provides views of the rear garden. The room comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and additional furniture, with neutral walls and carpet flooring throughout. While the décor is simple, the room provides an excellent canvas for modernisation, with ample potential to create a cosy and stylish master suite. A radiator under the window ensures warmth, and the room is conveniently accessed via the central hallway. Bedroom - 2.61 x 3.64m This second bedroom offers a bright and functional space, ideal for a guest room, home office, or dressing room. A wide window with lace curtains allows natural light to filter through, and timber-style flooring adds warmth and continuity with the rest of the home. While the room is in need of cosmetic upgrades, it benefits from a fitted radiator and high ceilings, presenting great potential for refurbishment to suit your needs. Living Room - 2.88 x 3.64m The living room is a cosy and inviting space situated at the heart of the home. Featuring timber-style flooring and soft neutral wall tones, it offers a comfortable area ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A central feature is the charming electric stove with mantelpiece and large wall mirror above, creating a focal point in the room. Natural light streams in through a front-facing window, while the layout allows for a variety of furniture configurations. The space would benefit from some decorative updating but holds excellent potential to be transformed into a warm and welcoming sitting room. Bedroom - 2.50 x 3.73m This third bedroom offers a compact yet practical space, ideal for use as a single bedroom, home office, or hobby room. A large window allows for natural light, while timber-style flooring adds warmth and durability. Though currently used for storage, the room's proportions offer scope for reimagining to suit your needs. Radiator heating and a built-in wardrobe add to the room's function, making it a versatile space within the home.
