Courtland Avenue, Whitfield

A charming two/three-bedroom semi-detached residence, exceptionally versatile in layout and located at the far end of a quiet close in the village of Whitfield. The property features a beautifully landscaped rear garden and a large 400 sq.ft cabin, which, with further conversion and full planning permission, could serve as a self-contained annexe.

Originally built in the 1960s, the home has been owned by the same family for the past twenty years. During that time, they have made numerous improvements, including reconfiguring the first floor and removing a wall on the ground floor to create an open-plan living space.

The exterior combines composite weatherboarding and pale render, complemented by newly installed UPVC windows fitted with bespoke shutters. A centrally positioned front door opens into a small entrance lobby.

Inside, wooden flooring runs through the dining area, which is partially open to the kitchen via exposed brick arches. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of high-gloss units and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge-freezer, double oven, and microwave. The space is further enhanced by granite worktops and a bespoke built-in pantry cupboard.

At the rear of the property, a delightful sitting room features a Scan 66 egg-shaped wood-burning stove and sliding doors that open to the rear garden. This room also offers the option of being used as a third bedroom, as it is adjacent to a recently installed shower room.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom with a corner jacuzzi bath. The principal bedroom includes full-width, fitted mirrored wardrobes.

OUTSIDE:

The property occupies a generous plot, with ample parking for several cars on the front driveway and a splendid, manicured garden to the rear.

A large sandstone patio spans the full width of the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with an enclosed area at the far rear bordered by railway sleepers. This section is currently set up for tortoises but could easily be repurposed for chickens or used as a vegetable garden.

The cabin, installed just a few years ago, features vaulted ceilings in the living area and has sufficient space to accommodate a kitchenette. Plumbing has already been arranged to allow for the addition of a bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. Planning permission may be required for change of use.
