Beginning with the exterior, the house is set back from Sorrel Drive behind a full-width block-paved driveway that offers comfortable off-road parking for two cars, and space for a third. This precedes a garage that has double opening doors to provide storage for another car if desired.

At the rear of the garden is a generous garden that is a blank canvass for the next family to landscape. There is a large shed positioned to the far corner and tall wooden fencing to maintain privacy. With vegetation and a park to the rear, viewers will be delighted to note that the garden isn’t overlooked.

Ground Floor

Guests enter from the front via an entrance porch that is ample for removing coats and shoes. A second secure door opens to a short hallway that has the staircase rising to the first floor immediately ahead and a door to the right for the lounge.

This is more than just a lounge… the whole ground floor is open plan to include, firstly, the large lounge with dining to the rear, and an opening through to an outstanding kitchen. The kitchen goes way past the original length of the house to include a high vaulted ceiling at the far end with skylight window for extra light.

The kitchen features a stylish hi-gloss suite that is fitted around the rear three walls and includes a breakfast bar to the front.

At the front of the kitchen is a personnel door opening to the kitchen.

Returning to the lounge, this extremely long space was the entire ground floor of the original build and therefore comfortably fits a large sofa suite with family dining table. A set of French doors at the rear open to the garden and, almost opposite these, there is a handy storage cupboard built into the underneath of the staircase.

Above the landing is a hatch to a well-insulated loft space. The walkway forms the shape of a right angle as it provides access to all bedrooms and the family bathroom.
