The Laurels, Forden

Peaceful, practical and beautifully maintained, The Laurels is a detached home with flexible accommodation and exceptional gardens. With plenty of parking, excellent storage and no onward chain, it is ready for its next chapter.

The Property - The Laurels is a detached dormer bungalow occupying a peaceful position on the edge of Forden, within easy walking distance of the village. Beautifully presented and generously proportioned throughout, it offers flexible accommodation over two floors, including a ground floor bedroom and shower room, while the beautifully landscaped gardens extend down to a brook at the far boundary with open countryside beyond.

The property is approached via a brick paved driveway leading to a generous gravelled parking area, with a covered carport providing sheltered access to the utility room and rear garden.

Inside, the entrance hall is bright and welcoming, with useful understairs storage. The sitting room is a comfortable and inviting space centred around a oil-fired wood effect stove set within a handsome carved timber surround, while an internal window borrows light from the conservatory beyond. The conservatory is a lovely place to sit in any season, opening directly onto the raised terrace and enjoying views across the garden.

The dining room is a well proportioned separate reception room with oak effect flooring, comfortably accommodating a full dining table and sideboard, and sits conveniently alongside the kitchen. The kitchen and breakfast room is a sociable heart of the home, fitted with cream shaker style units, a built in double oven, hob and extractor, integrated dishwasher and a peninsula breakfast bar with seating for four. Twin windows flood the room with natural light. Beyond, the matching utility room provides additional cupboards, space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer, together with a door leading to the carport.

A third bedroom, currently used as a study, and a ground floor shower room complete the accommodation on this level, providing excellent flexibility and the option of single storey living if required.

Upstairs are two further double bedrooms tucked beneath the dormers, both enjoying pleasant views over the surrounding greenery and extensive built in eaves storage. A separate dressing room off the landing offers flexibility as a nursery or home office, while a second shower room serves the first floor. Storage throughout the house is exceptionally generous.

The gardens are a real highlight. A raised terrace stretches across the rear of the house, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining while overlooking the garden. Steps lead down to paved and gravelled areas planted with roses, hydrangeas, clipped shrubs, raised beds and a rose covered pergola. A large shed provides excellent storage and workshop space, while a gate opens into the main lawn, where 2 established fruit trees, mature hedging and the gentle slope down to the brook create a wonderfully peaceful setting with open fields beyond.

Owned by the same family since 2001, during which time the conservatory, utility room and carport have all been added, The Laurels is offered with no onward chain. It is an exceptionally well cared for home combining flexible accommodation, generous parking, excellent storage and beautifully established gardens in a peaceful village setting.
