Sawyers Close, Teg Down

THE PROPERTY Occupying an enviable position within a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of highly sought-after Teg Down, this attractive semi-detached home offers generous and well-balanced accommodation, a beautiful south-west facing garden and excellent potential to extend and enhance, subject to the usual permissions.

Having remained in the same ownership for many years, the property has been a much-loved and well-maintained home and now presents an exciting opportunity for new owners to update and adapt to suit modern living requirements. A number of neighbouring homes, including the adjoining property, have successfully converted their loft spaces and, subject to the necessary consents, similar potential may exist here.

The accommodation is approached via a bright and welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and access through to the principal living spaces. At the rear of the house, the kitchen has been thoughtfully arranged with an extensive range of storage cupboards beneath work surfaces, with a sink positioned to enjoy views over the garden. A useful pantry cupboard accommodates a freestanding fridge freezer, whilst a side door provides convenient access to both the garden and carport.

Open to the kitchen, the dining area and conservatory create an excellent family and entertaining space. A bespoke fitted dresser provides attractive storage and display space, while the conservatory offers an ideal place to relax and enjoy the outlook over the garden, with doors opening directly onto the terrace.

To the front of the property, the traditional sitting room provides a comfortable and peaceful retreat, filled with natural light and centred around an attractive feature fireplace housing an electric fire.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms comprising two generous doubles with built-in wardrobes and a good-sized single bedroom, all served by a family bathroom and separate WC.

Outside, the property is screened from the road by mature planting and enjoys a front garden laid mainly to lawn together with off-road parking, scope to create additional parking if required, and access to the carport with lockable gates.

The delightful south-west facing rear garden is a particular feature of the home. Enjoying a bright and sunny aspect, it slopes gently away from the house and has been beautifully maintained with established lawns, flowering perennials and mature shrubs creating a private and colourful setting. A patio adjoining the conservatory provides an ideal space for outdoor dining, while a brick-built store and separate garden shed add further practicality.
