Why buy this home?

Buyers often talk about that 'feeling' when choosing a home, and it’s hard not to get it when looking around this one. Located on the sought after Cotefield Drive, this link-detached home is offered in excellent turn-key condition, ready for its next owners to enjoy from day one. The property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners, with highlights including a tastefully refitted kitchen and bathroom. Whether you are a family wanting to take advantage of the nearby schools or someone looking to move to a comfortable, low-maintenance home, this could be the ideal choice.

The condition of the home is evident from the moment you step into the entrance hall, which provides access to all ground floor accommodation. Solid wood flooring extends throughout the hallway and into the living areas, creating a cohesive feel while adding warmth, durability, and a sense of quality to the space. There is a large cupboard under the stairs to store shoes and coats, keeping the entrance hall clear.

This beautifully finished kitchen is a real show stopper, combining contemporary style with practicality. Quartz work surfaces run throughout, providing a durable and sleek finish, while the ceramic sink set beneath a front facing window creates a lovely spot to enjoy natural light and views to the front. The space has been designed to maximise storage, with an abundance of smart, well-proportioned units ensuring everything has its place. Tiled flooring adds a clean, modern feel and is ideal for busy households. Integral appliances include an induction hob with extractor, a double oven with microwave, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer and there is also space for a washing machine.

At the rear of the home lies living room and it offers exactly the warm and welcoming atmosphere you would hope to find. A wood-burning stove takes centre stage in the room, providing a cozy focal point that’s ideal for relaxing on crisp evenings. Fitted storage ensures everyday items are neatly tucked away, keeping the room clutter-free and light flows in through French doors, which open directly onto the rear garden. The wooden floor enhances the homely feel to the room making it the obvious place catch up with family after a long day or gather when hosting friends or family.

Adjacent to the living room is the dining area, currently furnished with a round table comfortably seating four. The space is versatile enough to accommodate a rectangular table if preferred.

There is an additional room downstairs that offers plenty of flexibility. At the moment, it’s used as a snug with space for a study area which caters to parents and children alike. However, it could just as easily be transformed into a larger dining room or a convenient downstairs bedroom should you need one.

A downstairs toilet, essential for every family home, completes the downstairs accommodation.

The rear garden is generous compared to many local homes of a simillar size and boasts two distinct patio areas. One is perfect for al fresco dining or hosting a BBQ, while the other, tucked away at the back, offers a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the last warmth of the summer sun with your favourite drink. A stone wall at the rear adds charm and privacy, while flower beds offer plenty of opportunity to introduce your own colorful touches. There’s also a gate giving easy access to the front of the property.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms alongside a smartly re-fitted family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are doubles, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes. As these rooms are very similar in size, the choice of main bedroom is entirely down to personal preference. The third bedroom is ideal as a comfortable single room or nursery, although it would also accommodate a small double bed if required.

The fully tiled bathroom is fitted with a bath that has a shower over it, a toilet and a wash hand basin that has built in storage. Two windows, along with an extractor fan, help ensure excellent ventilation, while a heated towel rail provides efficient drying and heating.

To the front of the home there is driveway parking for one vehicle, complemented by an additional gravelled area providing space for a second car. The garage features an up and over door and is equipped with power and lighting. Subject to the relevant permissions, it also offers excellent potential for conversion to create additional internal living space.
