Summary

This exceptional home is not one for you to pass on if space is the driving force to your house move. This property has been very well thought out and designed in a way that it shall leave your family wanting for nothing as it already offers what you need and provides space in it's abundance. The property was heavily extended approximately 20 years ago with a double storey wrap around extension to the rear and side elevations of the building. Offering a modern approach to the internal decor there is minimal work required at this house meaning on move day, it would be a simple case of just bringing along your suitcases and personal possessions. The living accommodation downstairs offers opportunity for further development and could potentially be split into two separate sitting rooms with the simple installation of some bi-folding doors. Viewers can find some of the original features still very much in use to the semi-detached which marks the start to its historic 1930's timeline. The plot size to this house is just as generous as it's living accommodation with the driveway being capable of holding up to four vehicles (size dependent) and the rear garden boasts three separate split levels, with each of them having it's own useful purpose.

Bathroom: 

The bathroom was extended also, with the extra room coming from a double storey extension some years ago.

Rear Garden: The rear of this property is really quite special and offers the potential to have a garden that caters for the whole family. Split over three different levels each tier could serve it's own purpose:
 
The Upper Tier: Currently is used as the main patio area and has been finished with a low maintenance concrete print design with a slabbed print in Sandstone and edged with wooden sleepers. The patio provides access into the main residence via the patio doors into the kitchen and the side path leads you to the front driveway via the side gate. There is security lighting, an outside water tap and steps that lead down to the middle tier alongside a featured rockery. 
The Middle Tier: Offering a large centre piece lawn this section of the rear garden is where you would expect the children to have their play-set and outdoor slide, however the area is so generous in size that any climbing frames would most definitely not swallow up the garden. You can still expect there would still be space for you to pull out a sunbed on a warm summers day. Surrounding the lawn to the borders is a flowerbed that offers a huge variety of plants, shrubs, bushes/hedges and young conifers. 
The Lower Tier: This section of the garden is relatively low maintenance and is again accessed via another set f shallow steps that lead down from the lawn of the middle tier. This being the lowest section of the rear garden the existing owners have installed a good sized wooden shed with a further raised slabbed patio area that could be used as another patio or even take a second shed should you decide you required one. There is also a further rockery with more varieties of plant life, however this space could easily be levelled off, and as other neighbouring properties have, you could install/build an outside office space or an annex quite comfortably.
