An outstanding, extended two-bedroom end-terraced house, occupying an attractive position within this popular and well-established residential location and offering a combination of stylish contemporary accommodation, superb outdoor space and convenient access to local amenities and transport links.

The property has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced by the current owners to create a particularly impressive open-plan living space to the rear, which undoubtedly forms the heart of this wonderful home.

The location is also a major feature, being ideally placed for access to a range of local amenities and everyday facilities, while transport links provide convenient access to the surrounding areas and further afield. The nearby A1 and A693 offer particularly useful commuter connections, making the property well suited to those requiring access to neighbouring towns and employment centres.

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance porch, which in turn provides access to the attractive front-facing lounge.

The lounge benefits from a bow window to the front aspect. A contemporary inset fireplace provides an attractive focal point to the chimney breast, while the staircase rises to the first floor. The room provides a comfortable and versatile space for relaxing and entertaining.

To the rear of the property is the stunning open-plan kitchen/diner and family area, which is undoubtedly one of the property's principal selling points. Designed with modern family living and entertaining in mind, this impressive space combines kitchen, dining and informal living areas to create a superb sociable environment.

The dining kitchen area provides ample room for a dining table and chairs and is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern wall, drawer and floor units, complemented by attractive work surfaces and incorporating a range of built-in cooking appliances. There is excellent storage and preparation space, making this a highly practical as well as stylish kitchen.

The adjoining family area is particularly impressive, featuring a vaulted ceiling which gives the room a wonderful feeling of space and height. Velux-style roof windows further enhance the room by introducing additional natural light, while bi-folding doors provide a seamless connection between the interior and the rear garden. When opened, these doors create a fantastic entertaining space and allow the garden to become a natural extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months.

To the first floor are two beautifully presented bedrooms, both offering comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation.

The principal bedroom benefits from a range of built-in sliding-door wardrobes, providing useful storage while retaining valuable floor space. The second bedroom offers a further versatile room which could be utilised as a child's bedroom, guest room, home office or dressing room, depending upon the purchaser's requirements.

Both bedrooms are served by the stylishly appointed family bathroom, equipped with a bath with rainfall-style shower over, WC with concealed cistern and a hand wash basin set within a useful vanity storage unit. The bathroom provides a modern and practical finishing touch to the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the property benefits from a driveway to the front, providing valuable off-street parking.

To the rear is a lovely enclosed and low-maintenance themed garden, thoughtfully designed to provide an attractive and practical outdoor space. The garden incorporates two paved patio seating areas, providing excellent opportunities for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with an artificial lawned area and a raised planter which adds colour and interest.

Overall, this is a superb ready-to-move-into home which combines attractive accommodation with a particularly impressive extended open-plan living space, modern presentation, driveway parking and an appealing enclosed rear garden. The property is ideally suited to a range of buyers and offers excellent access to local amenities, facilities and commuter routes.

Early internal inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the style, space and versatility this wonderful home has to offer.
