Guide Price £450,000-£470,000 REF MG1259

There is something about a modern home that makes life that little bit easier. It might be the low running costs, the peace of mind that comes with a 10 year warranty, or simply the fact that everything feels designed with today’s lifestyles in mind. For me, that is what modern living is all about. A kitchen/diner that is big enough to cook, eat and socialise in which then flows out to the garden. A ground floor WC for convenience. Bedrooms that don’t feel compromised.

22 Cape Road delivers all of that, and more.

What I particularly like about this home is the way it flows. The kitchen/diner is a space you’ll genuinely enjoy spending time in, with integrated appliances creating a sleek finish and plenty of room for a good-sized dining table. Open the doors and the garden becomes an extension of the living space. Better still, it is larger than many you will find, extending beyond the width of the house to include the area alongside the driveway, with sunshine throughout the day.

The attention to detail continues throughout. Invisible ceiling speakers in the kitchen/diner and sitting room are a lovely addition, whilst the wood-style flooring running through the hall, WC and kitchen creates a seamless feel. Even bedroom three avoids the compromises often associated with modern homes, measuring an impressive 11’ x 8’4.

Outside, there is off-road parking for two cars, additional visitor parking along Cape Road, and to the front an outlook not of neighbouring homes, but of mature woodland.

The property tenure is freehold and the council tax band is E. There is a twice yearly service charge of £145.
