Description
Property Description: Guide Price: £450,000 - £475,000. 8 Garden Ground is an attractive stone-clad home with a charming cottage style appearance, occupying a lovely position within a small, quiet and friendly cul-de-sac. The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation and improvement, including a substantial two-storey extension, creating a beautifully presented home with well-proportioned accommodation suited to modern family life.
The property has been updated throughout, with improvements including new windows, an entrance porch, driveway, landscaping and a reconfigured garage, as well as the extension to the kitchen and principal bedroom.
An entrance porch leads into the house, where the accommodation flows through to a comfortable, double-aspect sitting room with a gas stove-style fire set within a brick fireplace. The separate dining room is also double aspect, with French doors opening out to the garden terrace, making it a lovely space for family meals and entertaining.
The extended kitchen and breakfast room is a particular highlight, providing a spacious and sociable area with a range of fitted units, a range style cooker, integrated dishwasher and breakfast bar. French doors open directly out to the terrace, connecting the kitchen with the garden during the warmer months.
Practical additions include a separate utility room, walk-in larder and downstairs cloakroom. A new boiler was installed in 2025, with heating controlled by a Hive system.
On the first floor are four bedrooms, including two with ensuite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with a vaulted ceiling incorporating rooflights, a feature panelled wall and two fitted double wardrobes. A sliding door leads through to the contemporary ensuite shower room.
The second bedroom is another comfortable double, with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with a corner shower. There are two further bedrooms, one a good-sized double and the other a smaller double, together with a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and an airing cupboard.
The loft is boarded and accessed via a fitted ladder, providing useful additional storage. The owners understand there may be scope for conversion to create further accommodation, subject to the necessary structural investigations and consents.
Outside: The property is approached over a driveway providing off-road parking for approximately three vehicles. The stone-clad exterior, attractive frontage and established planting give the house a particularly appealing cottage-style appearance.
The gardens have been landscaped and improved by the current owners, with a paved terrace adjoining the house, providing space for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is also a side garden and two useful garden sheds.
A further feature is the former garage, which has been adapted to create a garden store and adjoining garden studio with a partially glazed roof and two sets of patio doors. This is a bright and versatile space ideal as a home office, gym, hobby room or studio.
