Description

Church House Close is a small cu-de-sac of similar homes thought to have been built in 1988 quietly tucked away between Knights Mead and the Village centre. A footpath handily connects the close to the village centre. Number 1 is a well-presented, light and airy home and would make a wonderful first home, as it did for the sellers, or for those looking to downsize. During their tenure the current owners have made several improvements including significant relandscaping to maximise the garden space, replaced the central heating boiler as well as replacing the majority of the double glazing and the front door. The plot and gardens of number 1 are larger than others on the close with additional useful space to the side of the house for storage sheds. There are two parking spaces included in the freehold, plus a further strip of land opposite the property providing another two possible spaces.

The accommodation is light throughout thanks to the generous window sizes and broadly open layout to the ground floor. Briefly, there is a living room, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor which are all partially open to one another. Off the dining room is a conservatory providing further space. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom.


Accommodation

The recently replaced smart composite front door opens to the welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and a door opening to the living room. The living room has pleasant aspect to the front over the front garden with no property directly opposite. Wood effect flooring runs through the living and dining rooms which are both light and bright thanks to the open layout allowing light to flow from windows in both the front and rear aspects. There is a useful understairs storage cupboard. The dining room provides plenty of space for a dining table and an archway opens the room to the kitchen which has contemporary mismatched Victorian style floor tiles.
