What The Owner Says
“This has been an absolutely brilliant home for us as a family, especially with young children. It’s far more spacious than it first appears, giving little ones plenty of room to play, and having a separate back room as a playroom has been a real bonus for keeping everything else calm and clutter-free. Being able to bring a pram straight up the drive and into the house without disturbing a sleeping baby has made day-to-day life that bit easier too.

We’ve loved being just a couple of roads from Bole Hill Park, and there are so many great toddler groups and activities nearby. The loft has been fantastic as well – it’s given us valuable extra storage, and my husband has used it as a quiet home office, tucked away from the rest of the house.”

Step through the front door and into a welcoming hallway, with stairs rising ahead and doors leading into both reception rooms. To the front, the lounge is a bright and comfortable space, centred around a bay window with plenty of room for seating. The dining room sits just behind, ideal for entertaining, with space for a large table and a natural flow through to both the kitchen and garden room.

The kitchen offers generous storage and worktop space, with a peninsula creating a practical and social layout. There’s room for a breakfast table, alongside an integrated oven and grill, electric hob, and space for freestanding appliances. A window above the sink looks out over the rear garden.

To the rear, the garden room is a real highlight. With floor-to-ceiling glazing and a door opening onto the garden, it’s a brilliant spot to relax and enjoy the outlook all year round.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms and a beautifully finished bathroom. The main bedroom is a spacious double at the front with built-in wardrobes, while the second bedroom overlooks the garden and works well as a smaller double. The third bedroom, also at the front, is ideal as a nursery, dressing room or home office, with useful built-in storage. The bathroom has been recently renovated to a high standard, featuring a bath with shower above, vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. A drop-down ladder provides access to the loft, offering excellent additional storage.

Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking for multiple vehicles to the side, leading to a garage with both an up-and-over door and direct access from the garden. To the rear, the south-facing garden is a real sun trap, with a patio area perfect for outdoor dining, leading onto a lawned garden ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
