DESCRIPTION
12 Penny Hill forms part of a modern development constructed approximately 20 years ago and occupies a tucked-away position within this popular cul-de-sac. The property provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with three generous bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining room and separate living room. The property has been thoughtfully adapted from its original design to create a particularly useful open-plan kitchen and dining area, providing an excellent social space for family life and entertaining. Outside, the enclosed south-facing garden incorporates composite decking, lawn and established planting, together with two useful detached outbuildings.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. The separate living room is double aspect and benefits from patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a light and comfortable space for relaxing. The open-plan kitchen/dining room has been extended from the property's original design and is a particular feature of the home. The generous space provides an excellent area for both everyday living and entertaining, with two sets of doors opening onto the rear decking and garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and benefits from a separate utility room. A ground-floor WC is also accessed from the entrance hall.
