Sitting in a lovely, highly sought after tree lined street is this unique and spacious semi detached family home.

GROUND FLOOR
Double oak entrance doors open into the reception hall with wood floor, while on the left is a cloaks cupboard which leads into the fully tiled downstairs cloakroom.

This area, along with the hall and cloakroom, has underfloor heating of the wet variety, powered by a condensing boiler which has 4 thermostat controls, and is flooded with light through the glazed doors and skylights. In the family area is a freestanding wood burner, perfect for those colder autumn and winter nights, and a media wall incorporating fitted shelf/cupboard units.

The kitchen features a range of modern cabinets with light grey granite and solid oak worktops, an inset enamel sink with a mixer tap and waste disposal unit, and there are integrated appliances including two matching pyrolytic ovens with two microwave combination ovens above, as well as storage above and below – ideal for any budding chef – and a tall fridge/freezer as well as a wine cooler. The central island is split into two, featuring curved corners and a wood work surface inset with a new built in induction hob with 5 zones and cupboards below on one side, and a raised breakfast bar on the other with a built in wine rack.
