Description
DESCRIPTION
Set on the edge of a cul-de-sac, with views over the park towards St. Cuthberts Church and Wells Cathedral, is the beautifully presented and deceptively spacious detached home. The property was extended to the side and rear in 2010 and now offers an open plan kitchen/living/dining room, separate sitting room, utility room, five bedrooms (one on the ground floor), three bathrooms, enclosed south facing rear garden and off-road parking.
Upon entering is a welcoming entrance hall with limed wood effect flooring, modern anthracite radiator and built-in cupboard, ideal for coats, shoes and ‘day to day’ storage. The hall gives access to both the sitting room, downstairs bedroom and utility room. The sitting room is a notably bright room with a large, floor to ceiling window to the front, limed wood effect floor, understairs cupboard and sleek quartz fireplace with hearth and inset gas fire (currently disconnected) as the focal point. The open plan ‘L’ shaped kitchen/dining/family room is a stunning space perfect for modern living and features vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses, tall anthracite radiator and wood effect flooring. The dining area offers ample space for a dining table to seat six to eight people easily. Adjacent is the sitting area with plenty of room for comfortable seating and sliding patio doors to the garden. A breakfast bar, with oak worktops and waterfall side, provides kitchen storage, space to seat two and naturally divides the kitchen from the dining and sitting areas. The kitchen has an array of wall and base units with cream Shaker style doors and drawers, oak worktops and one and a half bowl stainless steel sink. Within the kitchen is space for both a freestanding Fridge Freezer and gas cooker along with French doors to the garden. Leading off the kitchen is a utility room with further cupboards, sink, large built-in cupboard and doors to the hall, garden and ground floor shower room. The shower room is beautifully appointed and comprises; walk-in shower with waterfall and handheld shower, modern pedestal basin and WC. The bright ground floor bedroom is a good size double with dual aspect. The versatile room, which can be accessed directly from the front hall could also be used for a home-based business, study or playroom.
From the hall, stairs rise to the spacious first floor landing which in turn leads to four bedrooms (one ensuite) and family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a bright, dual aspect room with built-in mirrored wardrobe and views over the park with a perfectly framed view of St.Cuthbert’s church tower and the West front of Wells Cathedral. The ensuite shower room features large walk-in shower, WC, wash basin, towel radiator and window to the rear. The second bedroom, with a front aspect, is a generous double with built-in wardrobes. Also with a front aspect is the third bedroom, which is single in size and currently presented as a craft room. A further double bedroom features laminate floor, built-in wardrobe and view over the south facing rear garden. The family bathroom comprises; bath with handheld shower attachment, WC, wash basin and modern towel radiator.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is a driveway offering parking for two cars and leading to the front door. There is also a low maintenance gravelled garden planted with mature shrubs. From the drive, a pedestrian gate leads to a good size side garden, again laid to gravel for ease of maintenance, with two storage boxes, space for a washing line and bins along with a pedestrian gate to the side and access to the rear garden.
The fully enclosed rear garden is south facing and benefits from the sun throughout the day. A patio runs across the width of the house with plenty of space for outdoor furniture and entertaining. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders of mature trees, shrubs, flowering plants and spring bulbs and in the corner is a further patio with space for a table and chairs. On the far side of the property is an area, ideal for outside storage.
