Rarely Available Three-Bedroom Lower Villa with Extensive Gardens, Garage and Driveway

Janice Bennie and RE/MAX Property Marketing are excited to introduce this rare and truly unique opportunity. This is an exceptional three-bedroom lower villa, occupying a substantial corner plot with extensive private gardens, garage, and driveway parking.

Originally constructed as a two-bedroom lower villa, the property has been thoughtfully extended to create a spacious and versatile family home, offering generous accommodation rarely found within this style of property. The extension has transformed the home into a superb three-bedroom residence, complemented by a large open-plan lounge and dining area that provides an outstanding space for modern family living and entertaining.

The bright and welcoming accommodation is centred around an impressive living space, with the lounge flowing seamlessly into the dining area and onward to the decked patio and expansive rear gardens, creating an excellent connection between indoor and outdoor living. A contemporary fitted kitchen, three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a spacious family bathroom complete the internal accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys one of its most outstanding features: the exceptionally generous corner plot. The extensive gardens provide a wonderful setting for families, gardening enthusiasts, and those who enjoy outdoor entertaining, while offering a level of privacy and space seldom available. Further enhancing the appeal is a private driveway and detached garage located to the front of the property, providing excellent parking and storage facilities.

Combining the character and affordability of a lower villa with the space and flexibility of a detached family home, this one-of-a-kind property presents a unique opportunity for discerning purchasers seeking generous accommodation, extensive outdoor space, and a highly desirable residential setting.
