Situated within a peaceful cul-de-sac within Hedge End, this substantially extended five-bedroom detached family home has been transformed by the current owners since purchasing in 2013. Thoughtfully re-designed with modern family living at its heart, the property now offers over 1,700 sq.ft of versatile, beautifully presented accommodation, with multiple reception rooms, three bath/shower rooms and a stunning open-plan kitchen that's perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike.

Malvern Gardens enjoys a highly convenient location within Hedge End, offering easy access to Hedge End railway station, excellent primary and secondary schools, Hedge End Retail Park and motorway links, making it an ideal setting for growing families and commuters alike.

From the moment you arrive, the home's impressive frontage hints at the space within. A driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles, with potential to extend further if required, while the attractive exterior immediately reflects the care and investment the property has received over the years.

Stepping inside, you're welcomed by a spacious entrance hallway finished with stylish wood-effect luxury vinyl flooring, with doors leading to the principal reception rooms, the stunning kitchen and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.

Without doubt, the heart of this home is the exceptional extended open-plan kitchen and dining space. Designed for modern family life, the kitchen features elegant off-white shaker-style cabinetry complemented by quality worktops, a ceramic sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the garden, and attractive sage brick-effect tiled splashbacks. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a dishwasher, fridge, wine fridge, double oven and four-ring gas hob with extractor above.

A generous breakfast bar provides additional seating and preparation space, while the dining area comfortably accommodates a large six to eight-seater table, creating the perfect setting for family meals or entertaining guests. Patio doors seamlessly connect the inside with the garden, allowing the space to flood with natural light.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room offering additional worktop space, storage cupboards, a sink, and room for a washing machine, tumble dryer and freestanding fridge freezer, helping to keep everyday household tasks neatly tucked away.

Flowing directly from the kitchen is a fantastic second reception room, currently arranged as a family lounge. Surrounded by windows and with further patio doors opening onto the garden, this wonderfully bright room offers tremendous flexibility and could equally serve as a children's playroom, cinema room, home office or snug depending on your family's needs.

The original bay-fronted sitting room provides a more intimate space to unwind, centred around a charming wood-burning stove, creating a cosy retreat during the colder months while still offering generous space for multiple sofas.

Upstairs, the extension has created a magnificent principal bedroom suite stretching from the front to the rear of the property. This impressive room comfortably accommodates a king-size bed with ample remaining floor space, benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and is complemented by a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room featuring a walk-in rainfall shower, vanity unit, concealed cistern WC and contemporary tiling.

Bedroom two was formerly the original principal bedroom and remains an excellent-sized double, complete with fitted wardrobes and its own stylish en-suite shower room, making it ideal for guests, teenagers or multi-generational living.

Bedrooms three and four are both generous double bedrooms, while bedroom five offers a spacious single room complete with fitted wardrobes, making it equally suitable as a nursery or home office.

The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard, comprising a panelled bath with shower over and glass screen, vanity wash basin, concealed cistern WC, heated towel rail, skylight and attractive sage-coloured wall tiling complemented by patterned flooring.

Outside, the landscaped south-easterly facing rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to create a low-maintenance outdoor space that's perfect for families. A generous patio provides an ideal entertaining area for summer barbecues and outdoor dining, while the artificial lawn offers plenty of room for children to play throughout the year. Side gated access completes this fantastic outdoor space.

Beautifully modernised, exceptionally spacious and perfectly positioned for family life, this impressive home offers the rare combination of flexible accommodation, contemporary styling and an outstanding location. Homes of this size and quality within such a sought-after cul-de-sac are seldom available, making early viewing highly recommended.
