Description
Property Description: Guide Price £550,000 - £575,000. Occupying a particularly appealing position within Conningbrook Lakes, this substantial detached family home sits on a generous plot with the lake and surrounding country park close by. The position gives the property a greater sense of openness and privacy than might typically be expected within a modern development, complemented by a south-facing landscaped garden and adjacent parking beneath a large double carport. Inside, the accommodation is equally well considered, with just over 1,550 square feet across the house itself and a layout designed around generous family living.
The kitchen/dining room is one of the strongest spaces. Extending to 21 feet, the contemporary kitchen has clean-lined white cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and integrated appliances, with a peninsula subtly separating the cooking area from the dining space. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy transition outside during the warmer months. Alongside is a substantial separate living room allowing for generous seating without the room feeling crowded, while French doors once again open onto the garden. The deeper tones used within the room give it a more defined character away from the brighter open-plan kitchen and dining area. A separate study is positioned towards the front of the ground floor, creating a dedicated home working space rather than requiring one of the bedrooms to double as an office. There is also a ground floor cloakroom.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms are particularly well balanced. Three are generous doubles, while the fourth provides a useful smaller bedroom that could equally work as a nursery, dressing room or further study if required. Two of the bedrooms have their own en-suite shower rooms, including the principal bedroom, and additional fitted wardrobes have been installed to the principal and third bedroom. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, giving the first floor excellent bathroom provision for a family or visiting guests. The current owners have also added further loft storage, increasing the practical space available without compromising the accommodation.
Outside: The south-facing rear garden has been carefully landscaped to create a relatively low-maintenance but attractive extension of the house. A broad lawn provides plenty of space for children and pets, while the raised paved terrace immediately behind the house creates a defined area for outdoor dining and entertaining. The open position and absence of houses immediately alongside are particularly noticeable here. Adjacent to the house is a substantial double carport, providing covered parking for two vehicles together with an integral storage area.
