GENERAL

The property was built in 1983 and was used as a kiosk and shop for the former petrol station on the site with a staff flat above. The petrol station closed in 2009 and the site was redeveloped with the adjoining properties. In 2024 this building was subject to a total renovation from the roof down, bringing the property up to the very latest standards of thermal and sound insulation and energy and water efficiency. With the exception of the foundations, walls and floor and roof timbers, this is a brand new house.

EXTERIOR

The property is set back from the road behind a block paved frontage with a herringbone style pattern which provides hard standing for at least two vehicles. Wiring has been installed for a vehicle charger if required. A gated pathway runs either side of the property and gives access to the rear garden.
The rear garden is set out in a courtyard style fashion with a paved patio and raised brick flowerbed to the rear, outside lighting and water tap.

INSULATION

The ground floor concrete slab and external walls have all been fitted with substantial internal insulation and the loft space has been insulated with 300mm of fibre glass insulation. New, high performance windows and doors have been fitted throughout and the opportunity was also taken to massively improve the air tightness of the building. These factors mean that the building has a very good EPC rating for its age.

SERVICES

The existing water, gas and electricity services have been retained but the property has been completely rewired. Cat6 data cables have been fitted throughout the house allowing the creation of an internal high speed data network. A BT fibre data connection is available. A new gas service has been fitted to the boiler and gas hob and the house has a comprehensive two zone heating system with all radiators controllable by individual valves. The already good cold water pressure has been boosted by an inline pump which supports a large, mains pressure hot water cylinder. The hot water system has been designed with a flow and return meaning that there is instant hot water available at every tap and no need to run off and waste large amounts of water when a tap is turned on. A TV aerial and amplifier are already installed and all TV sockets are ready to use. All the foul drains have been relayed and connected to the new drainage system supporting the entire site.

INTERNAL FINISH

The ground and first floor bathrooms have been fitted with high quality vinyl tiled flooring. The stairs, landing and bedrooms are fully carpeted. The internal ground floor doors are heavy oak veneered and the first floor doors are in a matching design in white. There is a comprehensive fit of lighting, sockets, TV sockets and data sockets throughout the house. There is a fully fitted kitchen with a large Bosch gas hob and extractor and integrated Bosch dishwasher, fridge freezer and double oven. The large walk-in shower has a Mira high pressure thermostatic valve and the shower bath also has a push button controlled Mira thermostatic shower head and bath filler.

EXTERNAL FINISH

The front of the house has a large block paved area with external lighting and pre-wiring for an electric car charger. There are two gated side passages leading to a paved garden area with a large raised bed, external lighting and tap.
