DESCRIPTION As you approach your new home on Hawkinge Gardens, you're greeted by a charming surprise: expansive views of Tamerton Lake peek through in the distance. Ample on-street parking is available, and a large driveway provides convenient off-road space for three cars. Steps lead down to the left of the driveway, where a welcoming canopy shelters the front door. But this property offers much more than meets the eye...

Step inside the modern hallway through the half-glazed UPVC door. Grey tiled floors and walls with white woodwork create a sleek and inviting atmosphere. Spotlights illuminate the space, while a radiator and under stairs cupboard provide storage and comfort.

The inviting living room awaits you through the white glazed door to your left. Plush greige/cotton carpet complements the grey walls, while a charming fireplace nestled within a marble-effect mantelpiece adds a touch of elegance. Two alcoves on either side boast a unique touch: cream and grey geometric feature wallpaper and stylish wall sconces. Large double-glazed windows offer views over the driveway and street, and ceiling coving adds a touch of sophistication.

Moving back to the hallway, enter the expansive kitchen-diner. This room continues the grey theme but incorporates dark grey tiled flooring for a practical touch. Beech-coloured kitchen cabinets with silver handles line the walls, topped with gleaming gloss-marble-effect countertops. A black tiled splashback adds a stylish contrast. The kitchen is fully equipped with an integrated oven, grill, hob, and a black sink. Ample undercounter space accommodates a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. Currently, one section serves as a breakfast bar, housing an undercounter fridge and freezer. Trio spotlights illuminate both the kitchen and dining areas, while an extractor fan ensures proper ventilation. Sliding UPVC double glazed doors provide seamless access to the patio, and a double-glazed window above the sink offers a view of the expansive garden. A final touch: a frosted-glazed UPVC door with a cat flap leads to a small utility room.

The utility room, with its mix of original render and grey wood-effect laminate flooring, offers a blank canvas for your creative ideas. A countertop and wall-mounted cupboard provide potential for a workshop space. Electricity and lighting ensure functionality, and a frosted-glazed UPVC door leads out to the patio area.

Step outside and prepare to be surprised! The entire garden has been cleverly transformed into an open aviary. Netting encloses the space, which the current owner has designed for their passion: a haven for birds. Two lean-to outbuildings adjoining the utility room currently serve as aviaries/cages. The thoughtfully divided garden offers a variety of zones: a patio area just outside the house, an allotment-style space with raised planters for fresh produce, a section of decking, and a large lawn.

At the end of the garden lies a purpose-built annexe, currently used as a large aviary housing a multitude of birds. The current owner operates a parrot hotel and small animal boarding facility out of this building. The interior awaits your customization - a blank canvas to create a space that perfectly suits your needs. Electricity, lighting, skylights, and double-glazed windows ensure functionality and ventilation, while an extractor fan helps maintain air quality.

Head back inside and ascend the grey carpeted stairs to the first-floor hallway, a mirror image of the one downstairs. Spotlights ensure ample luminance in this narrow space.

The first room you encounter is the separate W.C., featuring grey laminate flooring and marble-effect panelling. A frosted double-glazed window and a toilet complete this functional space.

Next door lies the modern and moody bathroom. Black marble-effect panelling creates a dramatic backdrop, contrasting with the white painted feature wall. Black tiled vinyl flooring completes the sophisticated look. A large, gloss white vanity unit with a small white sink sits below a frosted double-glazed window. A black bath panel with an overhead shower provides bathing options, while a built-in linen cupboard offers additional storage.

Across the hallway, discover one of the three bedrooms on this floor - a single room. L-shaped and painted white, it features dark grey carpet for comfort. A radiator keeps you warm, while a large double-glazed window allows natural light to flood the space. A built-in cupboard above the staircase provides extra storage.

Moving into the next room, you'll find a generously sized double bedroom. Grey carpets complement the white walls, while a whimsical pink-unicorn themed wallpaper adds a touch of personality. A radiator sits beneath the large double-glazed window, offering views over the street. In the corner, a wooden ladder leads up a loft hatch to a converted loft space.

The loft conversion reveals a surprisingly spacious room, currently functioning as an extra bedroom. Accessed through one of the first-floor bedrooms, this bright space features white walls, classic pine woodwork, and comfortable grey carpets. Two Velux windows bathe the room in natural light, while several doors offer access to additional storage areas tucked into the eaves. Spotlights ensure good illumination throughout.

Back downstairs on the first floor, the final room awaits - the larger double bedroom. This inviting space boasts oak-effect laminate flooring and crisp white walls, accented by a sophisticated navy blue feature wall. Elegant ceiling coving adds a touch of detail. Two suspended lights hang above the bed, providing bedside illumination, while an additional spotlight bar brightens the centre of the room. A large double-glazed window offers a view of the garden, and a radiator ensures year-round comfort. A built-in cupboard tucked into the corner provides valuable storage space.
