Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall that includes the meter cupboard, which has been prepared for the installation of an electric car charging point.

This basement area offers practical extra storage space that is particularly useful for keeping seasonal items or providing additional room for hobbies and storage needs.
From the living room, a hallway leads to a modern toilet facility, complete with a wall-mounted toilet and a hand basin, as well as the staircase leading to the first floor.

Additional features include underfloor heating, a skylight that floods the space with natural light, and a closed-off utility room that houses the washing machine connection and provides additional storage.
The kitchen also features double doors that open onto the garden, effectively extending the living space outdoors during the warmer months and creating a seamless connection between the interior and the well-maintained southeast-facing garden.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms and the main bathroom.
