Vicars Close, Biddenham

Only every so often does an opportunity arise to purchase a brand new quality stone-built family home in an exclusive location such as Vicars Close, Biddenham.

That opportunity is here now.

We are delighted to offer for sale one of two brand new properties recently completed and ready for occupation.

12 Vicars Close offers approximately 3,700 square feet of internal space arranged over two floors with a home office and guest suite in a separate building with the double garage and sits on a plot extending to 0.44 acres, subject to survey.

This property has been built to exacting standards using fixtures, fittings and features of the very highest quality. These include triple glazed aluminium framed windows, underfloor central heating to both ground and first floors provided by an air source heat pump and a fitted kitchen in a Shaker style supplied by Harvey Jones. A full specification is available upon request.

The ground floor accommodation includes a spacious welcoming reception hall where stairs rise to the first floor and a feature galleried landing.

Additional accommodation on the ground floor includes a cloakroom, a useful store, a separate drawing room and a most impressive kitchen/dining/living space that extends across the rear of the property with large sliding doors giving a superb outlook over the lawned south facing rear garden. There is a utility room off the kitchen.

The first floor offers well-planned space with a master bedroom with its own walk-in wardrobe, a large en suite bath/shower room and access to a large balcony overlooking the rear garden that is shared by the second bedroom suite that also offers a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom.

There is a further double bedroom with its own large walk-in wardrobe (plumbing is available to convert to an en suite if desired), and a double bedroom that shares the family bathroom with that bedroom.

If even more space is required the attic space can easily be converted as attic trusses are already in place as are Velux windows.

Externally there is a large gravelled parking area to the front and a detached double width garage that incorporates a home office on the ground floor and a fully self-contained guest bedroom with en suite shower room on the first floor.

The front, rear and side gardens are laid to lawn and offers a substantial patio across the whole width of the property and also a veranda to take shelter from the English summer should the need arise! There is also a timber barn in the garden, ideal for storage of garden equipment.

The property comes with a full 10 Year Buildzone Warranty.
