The Beeches, Shaw

Situated on a lovely residential road close to a park, playing fields, and a well-regarded local nursery and school, this substantial four-bedroom family home offers generous living space, beautiful wide views, and fantastic potential for a new owner to update and personalise throughout.

You enter the property via a large, naturally lit porch with a large window and ample space for coats and shoes. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, currently carpeted, which leads into three separate reception rooms, making this an ideal home for growing families or those who enjoy flexible living space.

To the right, at the front of the house, is a spacious living room, also carpeted and filled with natural light. Currently laid out as the dining room, it features a gas fireplace, with clear potential for conversion to a cosy log burner if desired. Double doors connect the living room to the dining room, offering the option to create a more open-plan layout if preferred.

The rear of the house has been extended to create a large and impressive dining room, enjoying French doors that open directly onto a raised patio area, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.  A bright and sunny room which has potential to be knocked through to create a large kitchen/diner if you prefer open plan living. 

The kitchen is a generous L-shaped space with a large window overlooking the rear garden and surrounding landscape. It is fitted with wooden-style wall and floor units and offers plenty of storage. There is a freestanding oven, space for washing machine, fridge/freezer and another appliance (potential for a dishwasher). A door connects the kitchen directly to the dining room, and there is also ample room for a dining table, making it ideal as an everyday kitchen/ breakfast room if you wish to retain the main dining room for more formal occasions. Vinyl flooring runs throughout the kitchen and wet room. Accessed from the kitchen is a wet room, comprising a walk-in shower, with the toilet and sink located in a separate adjoining room. A side door from the kitchen leads to a small back porch with scope to be converted into a utility area, and from here another door opens into the garden.

Back off the hallway, cleverly tucked beneath the stairs, is an additional versatile room which would make an excellent home office, playroom, or even a small guest bedroom. It is carpeted, includes  large built-in cupboards, and a vanity sink unit. Throughout the house, storage has been thoughtfully incorporated, with every nook carefully utilised. 

Upstairs, the staircase leads to a galleried landing providing access to four bedrooms, the family bathroom, a separate WC, and an airing cupboard housing the water tank.

The main bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and enjoys outstanding open views. It is significantly larger than average and offers excellent potential to create an en-suite or dressing area. The second bedroom, located at the front, is another generous double with a large window overlooking the front garden. The third bedroom is L-shaped, comfortably accommodating a double bed by the window with views beyond, while the remaining space is ideal for wardrobes or a vanity area. The fourth bedroom is a good-sized single/small double, perfect as a child’s room, guest room, or study.

The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over, along with a freestanding sink and toilet. In addition, there is a separate WC with sink accessed from the landing alongside a wide bank of cupboards. 

Outside, the rear garden features a raised patio area directly off the kitchen and dining room, followed by a small, easily maintained lawn. A further patio area at the back of the garden provides a great space for outdoor dining or barbecues. There is a shed in the corner for storage, set within a gravelled area, along with mature shrubs and planting areas ideal for flowers or vegetables. Side access leads back to the front of the property.

To the front, the house benefits from an integral single garage, a driveway with space for two cars, and an attractive front garden with lawn, gravelled areas, trees, and established planting. 

Please note: The property requires cosmetic updating throughout offering a fantastic opportunity for buyers to renovate and create a truly impressive long-term family home in a sought-after location.
