Description

Occupying a large corner plot with substantial garden grounds within a quiet and peaceful residential setting, this impressive and extended 4-bedroom home offers excellent-sized, highly flexible family accommodation, plentiful storage throughout and gated off-street parking for 2 cars. The property combines attractive traditional-style features with a number of modern upgrades, including relatively recently fitted modern windows, a Baxi combi boiler, sleek white dining kitchen and contemporary shower rooms. The ground-floor extension adds further versatility and is currently utilised as a 4th bedroom, although it could equally serve as a family room, home office or additional reception space.

Approaching the property, a security entrance light provides useful illumination at the front door. Entry is via a UPVC front door into a welcoming entrance area, where a large under-stair storage cupboard provides excellent practical storage together with ample space for coats and outdoor wear. A further door opens into the main hallway, where there is an additional shelved storage cupboard and a wall-mounted thermostat controlling the heating. Together with the storage found elsewhere throughout the home, this makes the property particularly practical for family living.

Immediately to the right is the attractive lounge, featuring a charming cast-iron, tenement-style fireplace with tiled surround, creating an appealing focal point within the room. Traditional-style details include coving and dado rails, while a large modern window overlooking the front garden allows plenty of natural light into the room. Bi-folding doors connect the lounge directly with the dining kitchen, creating a sociable and flexible flow between the 2 rooms.

The modern dining kitchen is finished with sleek white units and provides an excellent range of floor and wall-mounted storage complemented by generous work surfaces. A large window overlooks the rear garden and allows plenty of natural light into the room, while attractive LVT flooring provides a practical contemporary finish. The walls are partially tiled around the main working areas.

The kitchen is well equipped with an integrated eye-level Bosch electric oven, 4-ring electric hob with extractor hood above, freestanding fridge/freezer and washing machine. A Baxi combi boiler is installed at high level within the kitchen. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, making this an excellent everyday family space as well as an attractive area for entertaining. Bi-folding doors lead directly back into the lounge, while a rear external door provides convenient access to the garden. The kitchen also loops back around into the hallway, creating a particularly practical flow through the ground-floor accommodation.
The extended section of the property provides a particularly versatile additional room, currently utilised as a 4th bedroom but equally well suited as a family room, home office or second reception room. Dual-aspect modern windows together with French doors ensure the room receives an abundance of natural light, with the French doors opening directly onto an attractive and enclosed section of the side garden.

Completing the ground floor is a spacious and contemporary shower room, finished with modern wet-wall panelling and presented in good condition. It incorporates a large walk-in shower enclosure with mains-powered rainfall shower and additional handset, WC and excellent vanity storage.

A dog-legged staircase, benefiting from a window at the half landing, leads to the upper floor where 3 further bedrooms are located. The upper hallway also provides access to a partially floored loft, offering excellent additional storage space.

The main bedroom is a generous double positioned to the front of the property and benefits from 2 modern windows overlooking the front garden, allowing plenty of natural light into the room. Excellent storage is provided by quadruple floor-to-ceiling mirrored sliding wardrobes. A former cupboard has been cleverly converted to create a modern en-suite shower room with a Saniflo system installed. Fully tiled throughout, the en-suite incorporates a mains-powered shower with folding glass screen, corner wash hand basin and WC, providing a particularly useful and convenient addition to the main bedroom. The 2nd bedroom is another well-proportioned double, overlooking the rear garden and benefiting from floor-to-ceiling sliding wardrobes, including a central mirrored door, together with further integrated shelving and storage. Bedroom 3 is also a comfortable double room and enjoys dual-aspect windows, creating a bright and airy feel, together with further integrated shelving and storage. All 3 upper bedrooms retain attractive traditional-style details including coving and picture rails.

Storage is a particular strength throughout the property, with the large under-stair cupboard, additional shelved hallway cupboard, extensive bedroom wardrobes and integrated storage, together with the partially floored loft providing excellent additional space.

Further benefits include modern, relatively recently installed windows throughout and a Baxi combi boiler.

Externally, the large corner plot and substantial garden grounds are a major feature of the property, providing an impressive amount of private outdoor space extending around the front, side and rear of the home. Due to the size and layout of the plot, the gardens provide a wonderful sun-trap, with different areas benefiting from sunshine at different times throughout the day, allowing you to make the most of the outdoor space from morning through to evening.

The front and side garden grounds are enclosed by a combination of fencing and mature hedging, providing a good degree of privacy. These areas have been designed with ease of maintenance in mind and incorporate attractive shrub beds and established planting.
Wrought-iron gated access to the side provides off-street parking for approximately 2 cars. The extensive side garden is divided into useful sections, including the attractive enclosed area accessed directly through the French doors from the extended room. A further wrought-iron gate leads into an additional slabbed section, again fully enclosed by fencing and hedging and providing another useful space for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Further gated access leads into the substantial rear garden, which is fully enclosed and incorporates lawned areas with plenty of room for outdoor seating, entertaining and family use. The garden also benefits from 3 large sheds and a greenhouse, providing excellent additional storage and useful space for keen gardeners. Direct access to the rear garden is also available from the dining kitchen.
