Gulwell Drive, Wickwar

A modern and sociably laid-out detached four-bedroom home, beautifully presented and accompanied by a mature rear garden, generous driveway, and detached single garage.

Gulwell Drive forms part of the modern Saxon Gate development, built by Linden Homes. This particular property was constructed to the original ‘Pembroke’ design and completed in 2021. Its versatile and sociable layout is ideal for modern family life, with two floors of accommodation reaching approximately 1,368 sq. ft. Since new, the current owners have decorated and styled the property beautifully, offering a true turn-key home for its next owners. The property also benefits from the remaining years of a Buildmark Warranty, valid until 2031.

The front door, sheltered by a canopy porch, opens into a centrally positioned entrance hallway. From here, doors lead to all the ground floor rooms, including a downstairs cloakroom with W.C. The entirety of the ground floor has been finished with herringbone-patterned, wood-effect LVT flooring, creating a seamless finish and flow throughout the space. To the left-hand side is the principal reception room, the sitting room, which a beautiful space featuring a box-bay front window. Decorative wall panels have been added to give the room depth and character. To the rear, double doors open into the dining area, and subsequently out to the rear garden. The open-plan kitchen and dining area span the width of the property, combining a fitted kitchen, ample space for a family dining table, and room for additional dressers, sideboards, or even a small sofa area. The contemporary kitchen features both wall and base units and is finished with wood-effect worktops. Integrated appliances include a double electric oven, gas hob with extractor hood, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. Beside the kitchen is a handy utility room with additional fitted wall and base units, a second sink and drainer, plus space and plumbing for a washing machine. The wall-mounted gas boiler is housed within one of the cupboards, and a partially glazed external door opens onto the driveway. Given this convenient access, the owners have created a practical coat-hanging area within the room. Completing the ground floor is a further reception room, which could easily serve as a home office or study, but would also make an excellent playroom.
