Introduction & Approach

This is a remarkable opportunity for those who are looking for a renovation project or, subject to planning, complete redevelopment. The plot comprises of a large, three bedroom home set between a long, impressive frontage and an even more remarkable rear garden.

The frontage features a long tarmac driveway running to the left of a lawn garden and provides off road parking for at least four cars. The driveway precedes a garage which is attached to the home, running along the entire length measuring at over thirty feet. At the far end is a door to exit to the rear garden. A gated passage is available to the right side of the house.

The rear garden begins with a full width patio that provides plenty of room for outdoor furniture where the owners can relax with views of the glorious lawn with attractive plants and flowers to the border. It’s also a superb space for entertaining family and friends. A pathway leads along the right of the initial garden to a space where the shrubbery narrows before opening again to a further private lawn. This secondary lawn leads all the way to a wooden fence boundary with the open countryside beyond.

Ground Floor

The entrance door to the home opens direct to a generous hallway that has wooden wall panelling and the staircase to the first floor ahead to the right side. From the hallway there are doors leading off to two reception rooms and the kitchen. There is also a door at the rear of the staircase opening to a handy storage area.

The main reception room is to the left of the hallway, with a lounge and subsequent sitting room that stretches the full length of the building and includes an electric fireplace set within the chimney breast as the main focal point. An extended part at the front of the lounge makes for an ideal dining area. The sitting room at the rear has a set of sliding patio doors that not only provide access to the garden but offer a fabulous view of it whilst relaxing with a book or newspaper.

To the right of the hallway is another sitting room that, for the purposes of the floorplan, we have labelled as the dining room as it maintains a serving hatch to the rear of the room. The dining room features another chimney breast, this time with an open fireplace.

The kitchen at the rear of the hallway is expanded to create a large L-shaped room that has the main cooking area to the rear. A door to the right of the front section provides an exit to the side passage. Concealed within the units to the left of the front section is the gas central heating boiler. The kitchen features a wooden suite with a range of integrated appliances, such as a four-burner gas bob, low-level microwave oven and a chest-height oven and grill. There are also spaces available for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

A door to the right of the rear kitchen section opens to a ground floor shower room that features a cubicle with curtain, pedestal wash basin and a toilet.

First Floor

The staircase leads in a straight fashion up to the landing which angles around the stairwell to doors for the three bedrooms, family bathroom and a study. The study is position at the centre front of the house having a view over the frontage and countryside across from Sutton Road.

To the left of the landing is the largest bedroom which has windows at the front and rear to maintain brightness and plenty of room for a double bed and supporting furniture. At the opposite side of the staircase is bedroom two which has recently been replastered around the front wall and has built in storage at either side of the protruding chimney breast. The third bedroom has a fabulous view of the rear garden and is a generous single bedroom with more built-in furniture.

The final room is the family bathroom which has a lovely clean suite with a bathtub, pedestal wash basin and toilet in place.
