Why buy this home?

Positioned in a peaceful corner of the popular Billington Park development, this well-presented four double bedroom detached home also boasts generous living accommodation making it perfectly suited to growing families.

An entrance hall can set the tone for a home, and this one does just that. Finished in neutral decor and filled with natural light, it feels bright and spacious from the moment you step inside. There is ample room to accommodate a pushchair with ease, making it ideal for family life, while the modern laminate flooring adds a contemporary touch and ensures low-maintenance – ideal when cleaning those inevitable muddy footprints after enjoying the nearby parks and playing fields.

The stunning 29ft kitchen/diner has been re-fitted to an exceptional standard, creating a beautifully balanced space that blends style, quality and everyday practicality. Quartz work surfaces run throughout, delivering a sleek and durable finish, complemented by an extensive range of elegant cabinetry. Cleverly designed storage includes deep pan drawers, ensuring everything has its place and making day-to-day family life effortlessly organised. A central island forms a natural focal point, with seating for three bar stools – ideal for casual dining, socialising or simply enjoying a morning coffee. The kitchen is fully equipped with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including two ovens (one incorporating a built-in microwave and warming drawer), an induction hob with extractor over, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and the all-important wine cooler. To the front, the dining area comfortably accommodates an eight-seater table, offering the obvious setting for both everyday meals and more formal occasions. French doors open out to the rear garden, allowing light to pour in and creating a seamless connection to the outside – perfect for entertaining in the warmer months. Altogether, this is a space you would be proud to host special occasions in, from relaxed family gatherings right through to memorable celebrations like Christmas.

At the heart of the home is a generously proportioned living area, ideally suited to relaxed family life and time spent together. The main reception room is bright and airy, offering a comfortable and flexible space that can easily accommodate a variety of seating arrangements, making it just as fitting for quiet evenings as it is for entertaining guests. A particular highlight is the open-plan connection to the adjoining conservatory, which enhances the sense of space across the ground floor. Benefiting from an insulated roof, the conservatory is comfortable to enjoy throughout the year and provides an additional living area that flows seamlessly from the main reception room, naturally encouraging everyone to come together at the end of the day rather than drift into different areas of the home.

There is an additional reception room which can be utilised as the new owner feels necessary. It is currently being used as an office but would also make a great playroom for children to escape and chill out with their friends.

A W/C which is a must have in every family home completes the ground floor accommodation.

The rear garden enjoys a desirable south-westerly aspect, ensuring it is bathed in sunshine throughout the warmer months. A generous patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with ample space for garden furniture and a BBQ. Beyond this, a well-kept lawn offers further room to relax and two large sheds deliver excellent storage. For families, Astral Park is just a short stroll away, offering additional open space for children to play, kick a football, and enjoy the outdoors.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four generously sized double bedrooms, two of which are complemented by en-suite shower rooms, alongside a family bathroom. With every bedroom being a double, it means there shouldn’t be any disagreements over who gets which room if you are a family with children. Bedrooms one and two sit at the front of the home, both comfortably accommodating king-sized beds and benefiting from fitted wardrobes. Both also feature its own en-suite shower room, offering a level of privacy that’s perfect for older children or guests, while also helping to keep the main bathroom free during busy mornings. To the rear, the remaining two bedrooms enjoy a pleasant outlook over the garden. Both are spacious doubles with plenty of room for wardrobes, desks, or additional storage.

The main bathroom is fully tiled and has a bath with a shower attachment, a wash hand basin and a W/C. A window also provides natural ventilation.
