PROPERTY



Positioned along the popular Blake`s Farm Road in the family-friendly village of Southwater, this attractive detached home offers accommodation arranged over three floors and a thoughtfully converted ground-floor annex. This home provides an excellent balance of space, comfort and independence, making it particularly appealing to established families whose accommodation needs may be changing.



The house itself has lovely kerb appeal, with traditional tile hanging to the first floors and a magnificent mature oak tree framing the frontage, making it a particularly attractive and recognisable home within the village.

Stepping through the recently replaced, wider front entrance, perfect for improved accessibility, the accommodation has been thoughtfully improved over the years to create a practical and welcoming family home.

The spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area provides a wonderful setting for everyday life and entertaining, complemented by integrated Bowers & Wilkins CCM684 in-ceiling set of speakers, delivering high quality sound without compromising the rooms clean, contemporary appearance. A further feature is the bi-fold doors out onto the garden, which also serve to make this a very light, and open, entertaining space.

Through the kitchen diner and into the living room, with a Vauni bioethanol fireplace as a centrepiece, making this a very cosy space for Winter evenings and relaxation.



One of the real highlights of this property is the converted garage annexe. Providing a ground-floor bedroom with its own en suite wet room, this is a fantastic addition.

For families considering multigenerational living, it could provide an excellent space for an older parent or relative who would benefit from being close to family while retaining a degree of privacy. Equally, it could be ideal for an older teenager or adult child wanting a little more independence, or for accommodating visiting friends and family.



The annex has also been designed with accessibility in mind. With level access from the driveway, through the accommodation and out onto the patio and garden, together with a wider entrance and an en suite wet room, it could be particularly beneficial for someone with reduced mobility. This thoughtful arrangement allows easy movement between indoor and outdoor spaces without the need to negotiate steps along this route.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms.

The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.



The converted loft provides a further two bedrooms and an additional bathroom, creating another versatile area of the home.

This could be especially appealing to families with older children or teenagers who would appreciate having their own space away from the main family bedrooms. Alternatively, the rooms could be used for guests, hobbies or working from home.

Velux windows, complemented by recently installed blackout blinds, have been recently installed, bringing natural light into the rooms, while the sloping ceilings add character to the accommodation.



With seven bedrooms and four bathrooms across the property, there is an impressive amount of flexibility for families at different stages of life.



ENERGY EFFICIENCY & IMPROVEMENTS



The current owners have made a number of practical and energy-conscious improvements to the property since the last EPC.

A particularly notable feature is the solar panel installation, generating up to 6.885 kW of power, supported by 9.5kWh of battery storage and a myenergi eddi solar power diverter, designed to redirect surplus solar electricity towards heating hot water and maximise your use of renewable energy.



The heating has also been updated, with a replacement boiler installed in 2020, modern aluminium radiators throughout the ground floor, and a recently installed Vauni bioethanol fireplace, adding a contempoary touch to the living space.



Further improvements include a high-pressure hot water cylinder, updated kitchen flooring, newer carpets to the first and second floors, and recently installed blackout blinds to the Velux windows.

Together, these improvements contribute to a home that has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully adapted for modern family living.



OUTSIDE



The rear garden is another particularly lovely feature of this home.

Enjoying a southerly aspect and backing onto a small copse, the garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and a peaceful outlook, creating a wonderful space for the whole family to enjoy.



The current owners have recently invested in the outside space, including attractive, low-maintenance composite decking and new fencing, making it ideal for summer entertaining, family barbecues or simply enjoying the sunshine. The level access from the ground-floor annex onto the decking is a particularly useful feature, ensuring that this outdoor space can be enjoyed more easily by family members with mobility considerations.



A gate provides access to the copse behind the property, ideal for dog walkers, while a secure Asgard metal storage unit offers useful additional storage for garden equipment and other belongings.

With its mature surroundings, sunny aspect and private setting, the garden provides a lovely extension of the living accommodation and is a space that can be enjoyed by every generation.
