From the outside, the property looks fairly modern, but the bright red front door hides a time capsule that feels like stepping into a different era.

Prospective owners can find striking patterned carpets boasting a wide hue of colours and eye-catching designs.

In the living room, a ‘burnt orange’ three-piece suite is complemented by a flower-shaped light fixture and ecru wallpaper.

A large kitchen which connects to both the hallway and living area completes the ground floor, with stairs leading up to three good-sized bedrooms on the top floor.

The property comes complete with an attached garage and driveway in addition to front and rear outdoor spaces.

The listing, on property site RightMove, reads: “This superb property offers an ideal family home which benefits from a driveway and garage, set within beautifully maintained gardens to the front and rear, with the large rear garden being fully enclosed.
