Shelmerdine Rise, Raunds

'Aspirational Homes' from Magenta Estate Agents present a superlative family home that lies at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just a short walk from the town centre. Affording three reception rooms, four double bedrooms and three bathrooms, this spacious and beautifully presented family home offers the perfect blend of comfort and style.

GROUND FLOOR

Enter via a composite door into the bright, spacious HALL that welcomes you with herringbone luxury vinyl flooring which affords a contemporary aesthetic, a hallmark of this stylish home. An oak staircase rises to the first-floor landing, beneath the staircase an open area ideal for a sideboard or console table. Oak doors access the sitting room, study, kitchen/diner and CLOAKROOM which is fitted with a white gloss vanity basin unit and toilet, the perfect contrast to the muted-indigo blue wall panelling.

The herringbone vinyl flooring flows seamlessly from the hall into the SITTING ROOM where the dark blue accent wall creates a sense of serenity and sophistication inviting you to rest and relax. The south-facing box bay window floods the room with  natural light and offers ample space for creating a windowsill daybed perfect for those who love reading by sunlight!

Perfectly practical and super-stylish, the expansive KITCHEN/DINING ROOM will comfortably cater for all the family. The kitchen is fitted with grey painted solid wood Shaker-inspired cabinetry complemented by durable compact laminate worktops and upstands. Further comprising a composite sink and drainer unit, integrated dishwasher, ‘Belling’ electric range cooker with induction hotplate (only 12 months old) and fitted chimney extractor hood. The natural stone flooring pairs beautifully with the grey cabinets and continues into the dining area where there is ample space for socialising and dining with friends and family. French doors access the rear garden. From the kitchen, a door leads to the indispensable UTILITY ROOM which gives you space for your washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer whilst also housing the ‘Ideal’ gas boiler. A door leads to the rear garden.

In addition to the principle sitting room, there are two further well-proportioned reception rooms, the first located off the dining area and perfect as a FAMILY ROOM or perhaps a TV room, games room or playroom. Whatever you decide, it is an inviting and cosy room with elegant blue accent wall and herringbone vinyl flooring underfoot. The natural light within the STUDY will give focus and creativity a boost and the custom-built storage will help to keep the workspace clutter-free allowing you to work more efficiently.

FIRST FLOOR

Bright and spacious, the LANDING enjoys an attractive oak balustrade and offers access via a pull-down loft ladder to the half-boarded loft space. Beneath the Velux roof window there is room for a micro-office/study area or alternatively some custom-built storage. Oak doors access the bedrooms and bathroom.

The calming blue and white colour scheme welcomes you into the excellent-sized MASTER BEDROOM that benefits from two built-in wardrobes providing hanging and storage space. The front-aspect window affords a pleasant, elevated view across the surrounding rooftops. An oak door leads to the fully tiled EN SUITE which is fitted with a grey gloss vanity unit, toilet and shower enclosure. BEDROOM TWO is another good-sized double bedroom which also benefits from a sleek, modern EN SUITE fitted with a pedestal basin, toilet and shower enclosure complemented by grey tiling.

BEDROOMS THREE and FOUR are both well-presented double bedrooms overlooking the rear garden, bedroom four with a pretty blush pink accent wall and a cupboard housing the ‘Gledhill’ hot-water cylinder.

Completing the first floor is the family BATHROOM where you can soak away your cares at the end of a long day – perhaps after the kids’ busy bathtime! The bathroom is fitted with a grey gloss vanity basin unit, bath with bath shower mixer over, toilet and walk-in shower enclosure; complemented by tiled walls and floor.

OUTSIDE

Enjoying an elevated position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property benefits from an excellent-sized block-paved driveway which on occasion has accommodated as many as five cars. The driveway gives access to the detached GARAGE 2.96m x 5.80m (19’0” x 9’9”) with remote-controlled electric roller door, light, and garage consumer unit. The rear section of the garage has been partitioned with racking ideal for storing work/garden tools. Further benefits include external sensor security lighting and supplementary eaves storage space. NB The garage door has been recently serviced.

Enjoying a good degree of privacy coupled with minimum upkeep, the rear garden has several seating areas ideal for catching the sun at different times of the day. Artificial grass brings year-round colour and convenience. A notable feature is the bespoke bench seating with adjacent raised beds planted with herbs and shrubs. Fully enclosed by wooden fencing, the garden further benefits from an outside water tap, exterior lighting, two weatherproof power sockets, and gated pedestrian access to the driveway.
