Kingsway, Ossett

On the fringe of the friendly, welcoming and historic market town of Ossett, close to schools and transport links, discover the delights of No. 245, Kingsway, a spacious, well-built home with a cosy, welcoming ambience.

Wrought iron gates frame the entrance to the double driveway, with block paving, where there is plenty of parking for three cars. Tucked behind laurel hedging, offering a buffer of privacy from the road, and illuminated by external lighting, No. 245 stands proudly.

Welcome home
Make your way inside, into the homely entrance hall, where contemporary shades of dove grey and white create a welcoming ambience in the modern panelling and elegant wallpaper, as herringbone patterned Karndean flooring extends underfoot.

Immediately on the left, step through to the snug, a cosy and welcoming room with stunning media wall containing LED downlit shelving, a flush-fitted television and decorative log store. Carpeted underfoot, with light flooding in from the bow window to the front, this is an inviting space in which to hunker down and watch a movie.

Feast your eyes
Follow the easy flow of this home from the entrance hall ahead and through to the kitchen, fully fitted with an induction oven, hob, extractor, sink and American style fridge-freezer alongside an array of storage within the cream handleless drawers and units, which offer a sleek, streamlined finish.

Soak up the sun at the breakfast bar in the kitchen from lunchtime 'til evening, admiring views out over the garden.

Wine and dine
Opening up from the kitchen is the dining room, where a dual-fuel stove issues warmth and welcome from beneath its handsome solid wood lintel. Built-in shelving and cupboards within the recesses to either side of the chimney breast provide plenty of storage space, with an elegant cascading light fitting above the table, currently in situ.

To the rear, bifolding doors open out to the garden beyond, ideal for alfresco dining.

Opening up from the dining room to the front is the lounge, where the richly toned, herringbone flooring flows through from the dining room and light streams in through the large window to the front.

Following the calming motif of soft grey, white cornicing and skirtings offer a contrast, for a crisp, clean finish, whilst the panelling to the walls offers classic comfort. With ample space for a corner sofa, coffee table and bureau, this room has a mature, relaxing feel.

Practical places
Also tucked off the kitchen is the utility room, where there is further storage and plumbing for a washer-dryer. Freshen up in the WC, just off the utility room. The utility room also provides access to a store room behind the integral garage store, to which pedestrian access is also available.

Bedtime beckons
Returning to the entrance hallway, ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, where the upstairs space reflects the large entertaining areas below, and where six spacious bedrooms await.

Overlooking the front of the home, bedroom four is flooded with light, courtesy of two windows, including a large window looking out over the laurel hedging to the front. Deep grey carpet is plush underfoot, with a lighter tone grey to the walls.

Turning left out of bedroom four, discover the mature charms of the third bedroom, where leaded windows add a classic elegance, and pale grey walls add a sense of airiness and light. Another comfortable double bedroom, deep grey carpet flows underfoot.

Immediately on the right, from the top of the stairs, discover bedroom five. Currently serving as both guest bedroom and office, nautically themed wallpaper in gentle blue and white dresses the feature wall, as views extend over the garden to the rear.

Turning right out of this bedroom, refresh and revive in the family bathroom, warmed by underfloor heating and beautifully tiled around the bath in modern white metro tiling. Enjoy a relaxing soak or start the day with a spritz beneath the rainfall shower overhead.

Painted in a charcoal grey for a contemporary feel, elegant twin wash basins mount the vanity unit, offering ample storage below. There is also a WC.

Along the landing, passing the linen cupboard, make your way through to bedroom six, where elevated views greet you over the rooftops and treetops, from the large window to the front. Another inviting bedroom, a feature wall will delight any bibliophile, and could lend the room to use as a second study.

Versatile spaces
Turning right out of the sixth bedroom, make your way along an inner hallway, which offers a sense of separation from the previous bedrooms.

At the end of the inner hallway, arrive at bedroom two, overlooking the front. Currently serving as a home office, this bedroom could work perfectly as a quiet nursery, or even as a dressing room to the master suite.

Also tucked away to the rear along this hallway is the sumptuously sized master bedroom, dressed in peaceful shades of grey and blush pink. Carpeted underfoot, and with feature wallpaper and television point, wake up to treetop and rooftop views over the garden to the rear from the Juliet balcony, where French doors open to invite the morning in during the balmy summer months. Refresh and revive in the ensuite, furnished with shower, wash basin, WC and heated towel radiator.

Garden oasis
Outside, to the rear, soak up the glorious sunsets in the garden. The perfect entertaining space, the garden at No. 245 Kingsway is ideal for families of all ages, with space for children to play on the flat lawn, and with patio space for summer barbecues. Grown-ups can enjoy some well-deserved relaxation in the hot tub, where a bar area has also been created. In wintertime, snuggle around the firepit, toasting marshmallows. A small shed is also handy for storage.

OWNER QUOTE: "It's great to relax on the patio with a chilled glass of wine enjoying the sunshine in the private garden."
