DESCRIPTION

A beautifully presented, three to four bedroom family home set in a quiet residential area. The property benefits a stunning and lovingly tended south facing garden, off road parking for three cars, spacious sitting room, marvellous garden room, study/bedroom four (formerly the garage), open plan kitchen diner, cloakroom/utility and family shower room.

Upon entering is a wide and welcoming entrance hall with riven slate floor, built-in cupboard offering space for coats and shoes, stairs to the first floor and a useful understairs cupboard. The hallway leads through to kitchen/dining room, again with riven slate effect floor. This bright room runs across the rear of the house and features a window looking out over the sunny south facing garden, a selection of pine cabinets with granite worktops, plate rack and Belfast sink. The electric range cooker, fridge freezer and dishwasher are all included. At the end of the kitchen is the dining area which can comfortably accommodate a table to seat four to six people. From here an opening leads out to the fully insulated garden room. This wonderful space features full length windows looking out over the garden, pine floorboards and a stylish panelled wall with wall lights. Sliding doors open out to the patio and gardens beyond. Leading off the kitchen is the rear lobby with plumbing for a washing machine (available by negotiation) and a high-level tumble dryer (included). From the lobby is the WC/utility room with further cabinets, wooden worktop, inset stainless steel sink, wooden cladding with niche, WC and wall mounted 'Ideal' combi-boiler. Leading off the hall is the dual aspect sitting room with large picture window to the front, high level window to the side, original parquet floor, and coved ceiling. There is plenty of room for comfortable seating and a cream marble fireplace with log burner and slate hearth makes a wonderful focal point. Across the hall is a second reception room, formerly the garage. This versatile room, currently used as a study, is fully insulated with a window to the side and could also be used as a fourth bedroom, snug, formal dining room or playroom, if desired.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing with loft hatch and leading to the three double bedrooms and family shower room. The bright and airy principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect, with a large picture window to the front and a high-level window to the side. There are three double wardrobes (included) and ample space for a king size bed, To the rear, overlooking the gardens and trees beyond, is the second double bedroom with coved ceiling. The third bedroom, currently presented as a craft room, is a comfortable double with wood effect flooring, built-in wardrobe/cupboard and a window to the front. The family shower room is well-appointed and comprises a walk-in shower, WC, vanity wash basin and additional storage.

The property benefits from solar panels which generates electricity which is stored in a 3.5kw battery. Any excess electricity is sold directly to the grid and therefore reduces energy costs significantly. The vendors currently charge their electric car using this power, again offering significant savings.

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property is a driveway offering parking for three cars. The parking area is split into two parts.  The first area, enclosed by a low stone wall and planting, offers two spaces - one in front of the former garage and one in front of the house.  A further space sits to the side of the house in front of the workshop. To the side of the house is a pedestrian gate leading to the sunny rear garden.

The rear garden has been lovingly tended by the current owners and features a patio running across the rear of the house - ideal for outside furniture and entertaining. To one side is a greenhouse - providing prolific crops of tomatoes and other vegetables.  From here an arch, with climbing roses, leads to a seating area laid paving and gravel with borders of colourful planting and space for pots.  A step leads down to a small shaded area with further planting, bark chippings and wildlife pond.  A gravel path meanders through the garden with further seating area, beautifully curated planting, fruit trees - including apple, plum and cherry and vegetable beds.  To the side of the house is a wooden shed, with light and power, which opens into the workshop, again with light and power.  This useful space has a polycarbonate roof, plenty of storage space and double doors opening to the drive at the front of the house.
