Delightful detached family home set in beautiful and generous grounds in a highly sought after location with superb outlook to Blackford Hill

Description

10 Midmar Drive is a delightful detached family home offering spacious, comfortable and flexible accommodation set over two principal floors. Immaculately presented throughout, the property also benefits from wonderful light throughout the day with predominantly east and west aspects, offering tremendous views to Blackford Hill. With elegant proportions, beautifully bright accommodation and set in a highly sought after location, this is a superb family home.

The house is approached via a driveway and path leading to the front door set on the southern gable. The front door opens through a vestibule to the welcoming reception hall from where the family living and reception spaces are accessed and the stair rises to the upper floor. To the front of the house lie the wonderfully bright and spacious family and sitting rooms both with delightful outlooks over the front garden towards Blackford Hill. Both are very comfortable and generous in proportion, with the sitting room benefiting from a bay window. To the other side of the hall is the downstairs bedroom with an en suite wet room shower. There is a door from the bedroom opening to the garden, meaning that it could be used for a variety of other uses. There is also a guest WC at this end of the hall. To the other end of the hall is the magnificent dining kitchen which span from front to back with both east and west aspects allowing for light throughout the day. The kitchen is of an exceptionally high specification with solid wood painted units topped with black marble surfaces, as well as a useful central island and breakfast bar. There is ample space for a dining table at the other end of the room, where there are double glazed doors opening to the wonderful Mozolowski & Murray conservatory with two set of glazed doors opening to the garden. There is a useful utility room adjacent to the kitchen from where there is direct access into the integral double garage with excellent storage cupboards.

The stair rises to the upper floor. In the principal part of the house there are three generously proportioned double bedrooms as well as a further single bedroom/ bunk room. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive with delightful views to the east, and benefiting from an en suite bathroom, while there is a family bathroom servicing the other bedrooms. At the other end of the house there are three further comfortable double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a gym. Here there is a further shower room as well as a kitchenette.

The house is set well back from the road with a wonderfully mature and sizeable garden to the front. A smooth resin driveway with wrought iron gates leads directly to the integral double garage and provides ample parking for a number of vehicles. A pedestrian path winds through the garden to the front door at the side of the house. There are well-stocked and colourful flower beds interspersed around the front garden with a wide range of mature plants, shrubs and trees providing excellent colour and privacy throughout the year. The west facing garden to the rear of the property is similarly mature and colourful with a variety of delightful trees and shrubs around the large central lawn. Immediately to the rear of the house there is a generous terrace, ideal for enjoying the sun and outside dining.
