Old Kennels Lane, Olivers Battery

THE PROPERTY This well-presented three-bedroom detached chalet-style home occupies a highly regarded position within Oliver's Battery and will particularly appeal to those seeking to downsize without compromising on space, comfort or outlook.

Approached via a small flight of steps and a sheltered storm porch, the front door opens into a generous central hallway providing easy access to all principal ground-floor rooms. To the front of the property are the spacious sitting and dining rooms, both enjoying light and attractive bay windows with views across the front garden towards the golf course beyond. A gas-effect fireplace with stone surround provides a welcoming focal point in the dual-aspect sitting room.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a stylish yet practical space, with windows overlooking the side and rear gardens. It is fitted with a wealth of high-gloss cream shaker style cabinetry with under pelmet lighting, wooden style work surfaces, integrated dishwasher, and space for both a fridge-freezer and large range cooker.

A separate utility area leads through to the conservatory, which offers year-round enjoyment and opens directly onto the garden terrace.

A particular benefit for those potentially looking for versatile accommodation is the generous ground-floor principal bedroom which overlooks the rear garden and is complemented by a large modern en-suite with both bath and separate shower. A contemporary family shower room completes the rooms on the ground-floor.

Upstairs are two further bedrooms, offering flexibility for guests or hobbies, with potential for further adaptation of the loft space subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the property enjoys a lawned front garden with mature hedging, a recently renewed driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the garage. The south-easterly facing rear garden has been attractively landscaped, with steps leading to a lawn, well-stocked borders and a spacious patio enjoying evening sun. The Garden Studio is a super place for reading, working, or to use as a studio, and has the added benefit of lighting and electricity.
