Entering the home, you are greeted by a bright vestibule that flows through to a central hall, with sunny yellow décor and a sweeping traditional staircase. It offers a wonderful introduction and generous built-in storage, too.

There are two reception rooms to choose from: the living room and the dining room, both of which are light-filled and spacious. The living room immediately catches the eye, with its striped décor and elaborate cornicing, drawing attention to the high ceiling. It also features a bay window and a beautiful fireplace, set beside a built-in display cabinet. Plus, the room can accommodate a wide choice of furnishings. Meanwhile, the dining room enjoys traditional-inspired feature wallpaper and views over the rear garden – it is a well-suited space for family meals and special occasions.

The breakfasting kitchen continues to fulfil the promise of the home, providing another spacious area that can accommodate a table and chairs. It is generously appointed with wood-toned cabinets and matching worksurfaces too, providing an excellent setup for food lovers. It comes with a traditional clothes pulley and seamlessly integrated appliances for a sleek finish (ceramic hob, statement extractor hood, raised oven and warming drawer, and fridge/freezer). A separate utility room provides further space for freestanding appliances and rear garden access.

Upstairs, a galleried landing allows a flow of natural light throughout the home thanks to a traditional-style rooflight. It also provides access to a partially-floored attic for further storage before connecting to the four bedrooms. All four bedrooms are bright and spacious and they provide excellent versatility to suit the homeowner’s requirements. The second and third bedrooms are both large doubles as well, whilst the fourth bedroom provides a flexible space that can be used as a home office or study, if needed. In addition, there is a versatile box room on the ground floor, which provides built-in storage and a space for creative use.

The expansive principal bedroom has the additional advantage of a bay window and highly intricate cornice work, carved with delicate flowers. It also has a press cupboard and generous fitted wardrobe storage.

Conveniently, the family bathroom is on the first floor by the bedrooms. It features a three-piece suite, and is comprised of a toilet, a washbasin, and a bath with an overhead shower. There is also a handy WC on the ground floor, just off the utility room. The property has electric heating and heritage-style double-glazed sash windows.

The property is flanked by an easy-to-maintain front garden and a fully-enclosed rear garden. The latter is encased by a wall, providing a safe space for families and pets. It also features a suntrap, southwest-facing aspect too, as well as two stores, a patio area, and a lawn dotted by mature planting. Unrestricted on-street parking is also available along Craiglea Drive.
