This room in turn links through into an open plan dining kitchen having windows on the southerly side affording a far reaching aspect across to Belvoir Castle on the horizon.
In addition there are three double bedrooms, one of which offers ensuite facilities, separate family bathroom and useful utility which gives access into an inner lobby and, in turn, the attached double garage.
In addition the property benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating and is offered to the market with no upward chain.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful corner plot, the majority of the gardens lying to three sides, with an enclosed relatively low maintenance courtyard area at the rear and well proportioned gardens to the south and westerly sides having central lawn, established borders with a range of trees and shrubs. The property is accessed via a pair of timber gates onto a generous driveway and, in turn, the attached garage.
The property lies at the centre of the village and would be perfect for those downsizing from larger dwellings appreciating a single storey home within a pleasant village setting.
