PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

This light and airy house has large picture windows on three sides of the property and in all rooms, and a modern, flexible layout that’s ideally suited to contemporary lifestyles. The main living space on the ground floor is a large open plan living room. Accessed via an enclosed front porch, this has wide windows and leafy views to the front and rear gardens. Measuring 22 ft by 19ft, there’s plenty of space for lounge and dining areas. The rear section is ideally suited for use as a dining area, as it’s conveniently close to the kitchen and next to the full height sliding doors that open onto the garden terrace. There’s also a door to the terrace from the kitchen. The kitchen is bright and well-equipped, with integrated appliances housed in smart white fitted wall and floor cabinets that also provide ample worktop space. A side window and glazed door make the room a pleasant place for preparation.

An open stair leads to the first floor and a large landing, with lovely light thanks to a side window, a built-in cupboard, and a hatch to the fully boarded loft space. The main bedroom and the third bedroom (currently used as a workspace) are at the front of the property, whilst the second double bedroom is at the rear. All bedrooms are carpeted for comfort and have fitted wardrobes. All also have leafy views. The shower room and separate WC are both tiled and have obscured glass windows that provide excellent natural light and ventilation. The property is set back from the road behind a landscaped front garden with areas of paving and planting, and a drive at the side for three cars leads to the brick garage. This is suited to a variety of uses, with a side window and door from the rear garden in addition to the up and over garage door. The delightful west-facing rear garden is low maintenance and suited to year-round use. A wide terrace, ideal for al fresco drinks and dining abuts the house, with two steps up to a second terrace that’s surrounded by mature planting in raised beds. Bordered by tall bushes and specimen trees, the garden has a secluded feel.

The house benefits from a newly fitted boiler April 2022 with a seven-year warranty and was completely rewired in December 2023.
