Packed full of charm, elegance and character this terrific extended home has everything you could ever need - and a few extras too.

You can park with ease on the driveway, and the lush greenery of the garden adds to the appeal. The recessed entrance is a nod to the heritage of the home and provides a fitting gateway to what lies beyond - you can even shelter from the worst of the weather in the alcove as you rummage for your keys.

Once inside, the entrance hall offers a warm embrace with it traditional wooden panelling and invites you in to explore further. And there is much to see so venture along the hallway and into the sitting room to your right.

This is a sumptuous and sophisticated room and somewhere you are bound to enjoy spending time. There are lots of fine features to admire such as the large bay window, complete with curvy radiator below, and an elegant and ornate fireplace. The sedate and soothing feel lends itself to quiet afternoons and peaceful evenings where you can curl up on the sofa and relax comfortably.

Further along the hallway you will find the lush living room which is lovely and bright and just the place for movie nights and lazy weekend lounging. The room is flooded with light from the large full-length windows overlooking the garden and rooflights overhead allow you to gaze upwards to savour a glimpse of blue skies by day and shimmering stars by night. The modern vaulted windows add a natural glow and make this contemporary living space a definite place to enjoy.

More super stuff is waiting to be discovered and if you wander back the hallway, you can have a look at the kitchen. But before you do, make a detour into the utility room which provides a hideaway for the essential kitchen appliances that will help you breeze through laundry day.

Next to this is a smashing surprise - a shower room! You can beat the morning queue for the bathroom by sneaking in here to get ready to face the day before anyone else or a handy place to wash down those four legged friends after a good walk.

And speaking of starting the day right, you can certainly cook a tasty breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen. This is truly superb and has a wealth of room to work as well as cupboards galore - everything the heart of a home should have. The open plan layout includes room for dining so you can all enjoy being together as you gather for mealtimes. Chef can entertain guests while keeping an eye on things as they simmer on the stove and roast in the oven and where better to celebrate good times than here?

As you take a moment to reflect on what you have seen so far, why not take a tour round the garden? As you step from the kitchen and down the steps, you will find that the garden is a good size and a perfect blend of lawn and flowerbeds. You will find plenty of room to plant spring bulbs and colourful summer blooms for you to enjoy. As well as the garage, which can be accessed from the road via a gate, you can find a secure storage area tucked away underneath the living room, so you have more than enough room to keep your bits and bobs hidden away.

Great things lie in wait upstairs so when you have enjoyed some fresh air, hop back inside and head for the stairs.
Up here you will find the same homely feel and three bedrooms - the first is a bright and breezy boudoir with exposed floorboards and a cosy feel.

Next to this is a charming double with a nice relaxing vibe - a lovely room to snuggle up in at the end of the day as you burrow under the covers and drift off to sleep.

Last on the list of bedrooms is another comfortably sized room with attractive wooden flooring and lots of light. Those with a curious mind may wonder what lies behind the hatch in the ceiling. Well, pop it open and you will see a secret loft room hidden above!

As you scale the ladder to take a peek, you will find the room is fully carpeted and has light and power too. This would make a fab hangout for youngsters to enjoy giving them space to do their own thing. Or you could use it as a hobby room or office perhaps?

May Bank is a great location to be in and there are lots of amenities nearby. Four-legged family members will enjoy a stroll around Wolstanton Marsh and there are schools within easy reach too.

So what are you waiting for - make this your new home sweet home without delay.
