EPC Rating: C  **  Council Tax Band: C

Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this superbly presented family home will prove very popular to those seeking a place that is ready to move into. The property is set back from Barnetts Lane behind a gravel frontage with block-paved path between that leads to the composite secure front door. Viewers will immediately note the slate-coloured double glazed windows that were purchased by the current owner and have 4 years remaining on their warranty.

To the left side of the house is a tandem tarmac driveway that leads to a large single garage. Attached to the wall of the house is an electric vehicle charger midway along the driveway to make charging easy. The garage is detached from the house and semi-detached with next door’s garage. It has a manual up and over door to enter and pitched roof for storage. Between the house and garage is a secure gate to access the rear garden.

The garden is a brilliant size for those with children and who like to entertain family and friends. It is also very private and makes a great place to relax in the warner months. The garden begins with a large flagstone patio that offers plenty of room for an outdoor furniture set. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn all the way to the wooden fence boundaries, with an evergreen tree positioned behind the garage.

Ground Floor

As viewers enter the home, it is immediately apparent that this is a well presented home. The internal doors are very stylish and there is wood-effect laminated flooring laid underfoot that continues throughout the house, apart from the family bathroom which has wood-effect tiling. From the hallway there are doors leading to the kitchen (an opening), lounge, guest WC with wash basin, and another to access the understairs storage cupboard. The staircase begins at the right of the hallway and features a glass balustrade.

The kitchen features an attractive suite that hi-gloss white unit facias and laminated wood-effect work surfaces. Integrated within the suite is a dishwasher, chest height double oven and a four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan. There are clear spaces for a washing machine (with plumbing) and a fridge freezer.

The lounge is the largest room in the house, forming a L-shape that spans the full width of the rear of the building. This allows for a dining area. The current owner has installed a remarkable media wall to the left of the room that features adjustable ambient lighting behind. There are fittings for a television and a bio ethanol fireplace is sunk within. Natural light is brought into the room by a window and a set of French doors that open to the flagstone patio.

First Floor

As viewers move up the stairs, they pass a wall of decorative brick-effect tiling with feature lighting. At the top of the staircase is a short landing with doors leading off to all three bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom.

The bedrooms comprises of two generous single rooms at the front of the house and a large double master bedroom at the rear that stretches the full width on the house. The master bedroom includes a built in wardrobe at the far left corner and two windows giving views over the garden and beyond. Bedroom two includes the airing cupboard that houses the gas central heating combi-boiler.

The family bathroom is really eye-catching and, due to the opening position of the door, is a difficult room to get a good photograph that justifies how nice the suite is. It comprises of a P-shaped bath with storm shower and curved screen fitted over, a toilet, chrome heated towel rail, mirrored backlit cabinet, and a combi-unit with wash basin and drawer unit. The suite is perfect complemented by attractive wall tiling.
