Prepare to be charmed from the outset – this delightful detached home oozes potential and is ready to be snapped up by a purchaser looking to create their forever home. Occupying a generous plot extending to approximately 0.29 acres (0.12 hectares) or thereabouts, the property offers well-balanced accommodation together with beautifully established gardens that have been thoughtfully cultivated and enjoyed by the current owner over many years. In addition, there is a garage with utility and shower/wc, summer house and useful storage buildings.
The property is approached from Whinney Brow Lane via double gates, with a separate pedestrian access also available. A spacious gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the garage and outbuildings. The front garden has been attractively landscaped with mature planting and a heather bed, creating an appealing first impression.
A glazed entrance porch opens into the welcoming reception hall, which features tiled flooring and doors leading to the principal reception rooms. Both reception rooms enjoy a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lounge benefits from windows to both the front and rear elevations, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room throughout the day. A feature fireplace forms an attractive focal point, creating a cosy setting for relaxing and entertaining alike.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by contrasting work surfaces and incorporates a one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer, integrated double oven, hob and extractor hood. Windows to the side elevation and adjoining conservatory ensure the room is bright and airy. An open archway leads through to the snug, a charming reception space featuring an open fire set within an attractive slate surround. Enjoying views over two aspects, this is another wonderfully light-filled room with plenty of character.
To the rear of the property, the conservatory enjoys delightful views across the gardens and surrounding grounds, providing the perfect place from which to admire the changing seasons. Patio doors open directly onto the rear terrace, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
A staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first-floor landing, from which all bedrooms and the family shower room can be accessed.
There are three bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom is a particularly pleasant room, enjoying views over two aspects and benefiting from a range of fitted wardrobes. A door provides access to a balcony area, which is not currently in use but adds character to the property's appearance. Bedroom Two enjoys views to the front elevation and benefits from useful built-in storage cupboards. Bedroom 3 overlooks the rear gardens and also includes fitted wardrobes.
The shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC. Complemented by tiled walls and flooring, the room also benefits from a frosted window to the rear elevation, providing natural light and ventilation.
Externally, the gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property and have been lovingly created and maintained by the current owners over many years. The generous grounds include expansive lawned areas, decked seating spaces and patio terraces, all interspersed with a colourful variety of mature flower and shrub borders.
For those requiring additional storage or workshop space, the property benefits from a double garage, car port and a selection of useful outbuildings.
A summer house provides a pleasant retreat within the gardens, whilst the vegetable garden and greenhouse create a true country garden atmosphere, ideal for keen gardeners and those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle.
