Description
The Property - Dating from 1970, this modern detached house has been extended, updated and improved to form a fine family home. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and family room provide an outstanding centre of operations for modern family life and are complemented by a good sitting room, study and utility room. The tri-fold doors from the kitchen to the rear garden are an attractive feature.
The master suite comprises bedroom, bathroom and dressing room and the other three bedrooms are served by a well appointed family shower room with huge walk-in shower.
Constructed of insulated cavity brickwork under a tiled roof (the garage and study are under a flat roof), the house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and gas fired central heating with additional electric underfloor heating to the kitchen, utility and study.
The Outside - The house stands at the head of a residential close in a plot measuring approximately 81' by 43' (24.8m x 13.2m) overall. The house is screened by a hedge with a brick paved forecourt which provides good off-street parking and leads to the attached garage.
The rear garden is some 34' (10.5m) in depth and laid to lawn with paved patios, herbaceous borders, ornamental shrubs and mature silver birch tree. Gate to open green to the rear, which provides a pleasantly open aspect.
The Location - Rookes Close enjoys a pleasant location in the popular Lordship area on the favoured south side of the town.
