Situated within a quiet cul-de-sac, this spacious and extended five-bedroom detached family home is beautifully presented throughout and enjoys immaculately maintained gardens, generous living accommodation, and an attractive conservatory overlooking the rear garden.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and begins with an entrance porch leading into a welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. There is a convenient cloakroom fitted with a low-level WC and wash hand basin. The open-plan lounge/diner provides an excellent family living and entertaining space, featuring window to the front, a feature fireplace with inset gas fire, and sliding patio doors opening into the conservatory. The conservatory is a superb addition, enjoying a triple-aspect outlook across the rear garden and extending around to the side of the property, with direct access out to the garden.

The refitted kitchen is well appointed with a range of floor and wall units, an inset sink and drainer, induction hob, Siemens integrated microwave oven and warming drawer, integrated fridge and dishwasher. A separate utility room offers additional storage and workspace, with floor and wall units, plumbing for a washing machine, a stainless-steel sink and drainer, and internal access to the garage.

To the first floor, a spacious landing with a useful storage cupboard provides access to five bedrooms. The main bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a dressing table, while the four further bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for family living, guests, or home working. The bathroom is fitted with a suite comprising a low-level WC, wash hand basin, panelled bath, and separate shower cubicle with mains-fed wall-mounted shower.

Externally, the property enjoys immaculately presented gardens to both the front and rear, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a variety of flowering shrubs and established borders. The private rear garden includes a patio seating area and is fully enclosed by fencing. To the front, a patterned concrete driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles and leads to the garage, which benefits from an up-and-over door, light, and power.
