Description
Property Description: Guide Price £800,000 - £850,000. Tucked away on a private and level 0.98 (approx.) acre plot, this large, detached family home offers a blank canvas for someone to put their own stamp on. Built in 1990 and owned since 1997, it has been fully redecorated with new neutral carpets throughout and is completely move-in ready with no onward chain.
From the moment you step through the front door, you can feel this is a home designed for family living. A spacious reception hallway sets the tone, with a winding staircase leading up to the first floor. The bright gallery landing above adds to the sense of space. From the hallway, the large, triple aspect living room is filled with natural light and has two sets of sliding doors opening onto a paved patio with lovely views over the garden. The Squire & Longson baby grand piano is included in this sale, it has been recently tuned and is a wonderful instrument and a beautiful piece of furniture. This room flows into the dining room, perfect for hosting gatherings. The separate study is ideal for those needing a space to work from home or could be utilised as a ground floor bedroom if required. The spacious ground floor wet room, complete with WC, sink, and an open shower area, is a practical and convenient addition to the home creating the opportunity for multi-generational living.
The kitchen is well equipped with sleek granite worktops, glossy cabinetry, an electric hob and built in oven, with the Samsung American fridge freezer included in the sale. A large window over the undermount sink provides garden views, while room for a table and chairs makes this a great everyday dining spot. The room off the kitchen is perfect as a playroom, study, or snug, offering flexibility for modern family life. The utility room is a fantastic addition, with ample storage, space for appliances, and doors to both the front and back, perfect for keeping muddy boots and paws out of the main house.
The bright gallery landing leads to four very sizeable double bedrooms and a large linen cupboard with the hot water tank provides extra storage. The principal bedroom is a wonderful retreat, featuring three built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite, complete with a shower enclosure, lighted vanity unit, and WC. Further down the hallway, the family bathroom is in the centre of it all with a large shower enclosure, integrated sink vanity unit, and WC. The three remaining double bedrooms all come with built-in wardrobes and offer lovely views from every window, making each room feel bright and inviting.
Outside: Set behind a five-bar gated entrance, a sweeping gravel driveway leads to the property and its double garage with an electric door, power, and lighting. The level, fully enclosed south-facing garden is very private, offering fantastic potential for landscaping or development. Lapsed planning permission previously allowed for an extension. For relaxation, an outdoor hot tub sits beneath a covered pergola, complete with built-in radio and lighting - a perfect place to unwind. For peace of mind, the property includes a Yale Smart alarm, six security cameras, and a Ring doorbell system.
