Description
Summary
This substantial five-bedroom detached residence offers an exceptional blend of spacious family accommodation and prime convenience. Set behind an extensive block-paved driveway leading to the double garage, the property opens into a welcoming porch and entrance hall that flow into a bright living room, a separate dining room perfect for formal entertaining, and a well-appointed breakfasting kitchen supported by a utility room and downstairs WC. To the first floor, five generous bedrooms provide ample space for a growing family, served by a main bathroom and a master en-suite. The property is further enhanced by a desirable south-west facing rear garden, ideal for enjoying afternoon sun, and is perfectly positioned within walking distance of the vast retail and leisure amenities at the Metrocentre Shopping Centre.
Ground Floor
The property opens via a convenient entrance porch, a practical space perfectly suited for tucking away coats and shoes before stepping into the main home. This leads through to a welcoming reception hallway laid with stylish yet hardwearing laminate flooring; this central hub features a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, a convenient downstairs WC, and a staircase rising to a distinct split-level landing.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive full-length living room. Bathed in natural light thanks to its dual aspect, this spacious room features a central fireplace that serves as a cosy focal point for evening relaxation. At the far end, elegant French doors provide a seamless transition into the sunny, south-west facing rear garden, inviting the outside in during the warmer months. Across the hall, a separate formal dining room offers ample space for a substantial table and chairs, creating the perfect setting for family meals.
The breakfasting kitchen is well appointed with a comprehensive range of timeless Shaker-style wall and base units, paired with durable work surfaces and coordinating tiled splashbacks. Designed for modern living, it incorporates a casual breakfasting area and comes fully equipped with integrated appliances, including an electric oven, hob, overhead extractor, and dishwasher. The smart laminate flooring continues here, tying the ground floor spaces together. Adjoining the kitchen is a highly functional utility room, offering additional workspace, designated plumbing for a washing machine, and convenient internal access to the double garage. A side door provides easy external access, making this an ideal spot for muddy boots or pets.

First Floor
Ascending the stairs, the property features a characterful split-level landing that adds architectural interest to the upper floor. The mid-landing leads exclusively to the largest of the five bedrooms; currently utilised as a spacious home office and snug, this expansive, versatile room is bathed in natural light via Dorma windows and could easily serve as a grand guest suite or games/play room.
Continuing up to the main landing, which benefits from a useful double-door linen cupboard, you will find access to the remaining bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a restful retreat featuring a bank of stylish sliding-door wardrobes that provide ample storage.

Three further well-proportioned double bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation, creating a perfect balance for family living by ensuring ample space for everyone.
