Introduction 
The current owners have occupied this charming house since its construction in the late 1980's and maximised the accommodation by developing the space over the garage to form an additional bedroom. The dual aspect sitting room is complemented by the cottage style fitted kitchen and utility with a conservatory currently utilised as a dining room opening onto the extensive block paved patio and rear garden. The top floor would work well as a guest suite or home office with two rooms and fitted sink and drainer. Extensive parking is available on the block paved driveway fronting the single integral garage. Access to both road and rail links is close by with the open forest a few hundred metres away.

Double glass panelled doors open into the dual aspect sitting room which features a recessed log burning stove with floating stained timber mantle and sliding doors to the extensive block paved patio area and back garden. The cottage style kitchen is situated to the rear of the property and offers a range of solid pine wall and base units with granite worksurfaces and Belfast sink set on a ceramic tiled floor.

Storage space is supplemented by a matching fitted dresser with display cabinets and wine rack. The adjoining utility room offers additional space with integrated fridge and plumbing in place for a washing machine. An internal door leads to the integral garage which houses the gas fired boiler with additional space for white goods. The conservatory is also accessed via the utility room and is utilised as a dining area benefiting from heating and sun blinds with French doors out to the garden. A shower room is situated off the entrance hall with wc and wash basin. The turning staircase lead to a split landing with a door to the double bedroom above the garage with access to the eaves and dual aspect Velux windows. The main landing houses the airing cupboard and serves three bedrooms with the master boasting fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
