Description

To the side is the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with ample base and wall units, a Rangemaster cooker and an integrated dishwasher.

Across the hall from the kitchen is a useful utility room and a cloakroom.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged along a back hallway, where there are five bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, and all featuring built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom, in particular, is elegantly proportioned. Completing the accommodation is a well-appointed family bathroom.

Broad Oaks is set within delightful private gardens, bordered by mature trees and established shrubs. To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and features a generous terrace, which is an ideal space for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
