Knolles Crescent, Welham Green, AL9

The property has been owned by the same family since the 1960s and it’s easy to see why. The location and orientation are ideal. The house is set back behind a large shared green space and its own front garden, complete with a lawn, central path, picket fence and gated side access to the large wraparound garden.

The house has a logical layout and generous room sizes that make it ideally suited to modern living, and it’s in good condition throughout, with contemporary fixtures and fittings. There’s also scope to extend the house to the rear, and several neighbouring properties have added large conservatories.

Downstairs there are three rooms set around a central hallway: a large living room, a kitchen, and a study/utility room. The living room is 18’6” by 10’3” and has great natural light from large picture windows at each end. The focal points of the room are the gas fire with a traditional mantelpiece and the view of the garden and the fields beyond through the rear window. The room is carpeted and divides naturally into a lounge area and a dining zone.

The kitchen also has lovely garden views through a wide window above the sink. Fitted floor cabinets wrap around two walls, providing ample worktop space and housing a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances. The third room downstairs, currently accessed via the kitchen, is suitable for a variety of uses and would make an excellent study/workspace, utility room or home gym.

The first floor has two large double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate WC. The main bedroom has the same generous proportions as the living room below so there’s plenty of space for a superking bed and bedroom furniture. It also has a window at each end, and the rear window has far-reaching views over the garden and the open countryside beyond. The second double bedroom has lovely light from two windows. Both rooms are carpeted for comfort.

Both the bathroom and WC have windows to provide light and ventilation. The bathroom is mainly tiled and fitted with an easy access shower enclosure and a wall hung washbasin, whilst the WC has a traditional level cistern.

The garden, accessed through a rear back lobby off the kitchen or via the gated side access, wraps around the house. This is a truly delightful space with a paved path and terrace adjacent to the house, a large lawn, and a path to a second terrace and a shed at the end. Beyond the garden are open fields. The property also benefits from a right of way via a side vehicle access way which could create the possibility of a rear drive /parking space.
