Osmond Drive, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

Tucked away in a quiet cul de sac is this four bedroom semi-detached family home with garage, parking and south facing garden. The property has been improved and enhanced by the current owner and is presented in immaculate order throughout. 

Upon entering the house is a large entrance hall with ample space for shoes and coats, whilst also benefitting from a cloakroom with w/c and wash hand basin. The kitchen/dining room has been transformed with a newly installed kitchen featuring an array of units with soft close doors and drawers, double electric oven, gas hob, pull-out larder, space for a dishwasher along with a breakfast bar and space for a table to seat eight people. The room benefits from a dual aspect, providing an abundance of natural light and view over the garden. From the kitchen is the utility room with plumbing for white goods, storage and a door opening out to the decking and garden beyond. The sitting room is a well-proportioned room, again with a dual aspect and French doors opening out to the south facing gardens. This spacious room has a fireplace as the focal point which could have either a wood burner or gas fire re-installed, if desired and subject to the necessary consents. Currently, the room is naturally divided with furniture to create a sitting room with views of the garden and a separate reading area. 

To the first floor is a light and open landing which leads to the four good sized bedrooms and main family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a garden view, fitted wardrobes and a newly fitted ensuite shower room, finished to a high standard with a large corner shower. All three remaining bedrooms have been used as doubles over the years with two looking out to the front of the house and the other having a southerly garden view. The bathroom has been updated and features a bath with shower above, toilet, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and storage. 

OUTSIDE

The enclosed south facing garden has been designed to be low maintenance with access provided via a wooden side gate. French doors from the sitting room and a door from the utility room open out to the decking area, perfect for outside dining and entertaining. A lower area of artificial lawn provides a great area for playing or relaxing with a paved area at the rear which is perfect for furniture to capture the evening sun. At the front of the property is a parking area for two cars along with a single garage with light and power.
