Most of the activity takes place in the open-plan living area at the centre of the home. A comfortable reception room has cherrywood flooring, a cast-iron fireplace and tiled hearth.

High ceilings with a pitched glass rooflight keep the living/diningroom bright and airy. The light-filled sunroom, which can be completely closed off by sliding curtain panels, has floor-to-ceiling glass walls which bring in the views of the landscaped rear garden.

Double corner doors to the outside decking can be pulled back to create a free-flowing indoor/outdoor entertaining space.

The modern Leicht-fitted kitchen has a Neff oven, microwave and gas hob and integrated dishwasher, fridge and washing machine.

At the front of the house, the main bedroom has vanilla timber shutters, built-in wardrobes and an en suite with built-in shelving. The second bedroom has a cast-iron fireplace while the third bedroom has a large picture window overlooking the rear garden.

Other features include a built-in work space and under-floor heating in the sunroom, en suite and main bathroom.

There is a cobblestone driveway at the front with parking for two cars. A side gate leads to the secluded west-facing grassy rear garden which is bordered by hedging and mature shrubbery.

This outdoor space has a partly decked and paved patio.
