Description

25 Lennel Avenue is a delightful semi-detached family home on a quiet street which is immaculately presented throughout. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation set over ground and first floors and with both east and south-west facing aspects there is an abundance of natural light throughout the day. Of particular note is the wonderfully bright and spacious open plan breakfasting kitchen, dining room and family living room with doors opening to the south-west facing terrace and beyond to the garden. The property benefits from five generous double bedrooms, an integral garage, driveway and gardens to the front and rear making this a superb family home.

The front door opens to a welcoming hallway which leads immediately to the elegant bay windowed sitting room situated to the front of the house. Here there is a handsome fireplace with working gas fire. To the rear of the property is the superb open plan breakfasting kitchen and family living room open to the charming dining room. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and has a gas fired Aga. The breakfasting area is immediately adjacent to the kitchen and the central island and has double doors opening to the terrace and beyond to the garden. The kitchen and island are bespoke designs, handcrafted with walnut details being commissioned from Edinburgh based fine furniture maker Tom Cooper. It leads seamlessly to the family living room centred around a warming log-burning stove with a stone mantelpiece. From here there is a delightful outlook over the garden. The dining room is open to the family room, but has a lovely sense of separation, making it an excellent room for entertaining. Also on the ground floor is the spacious utility room which is accessed from the kitchen and has another access to the garden as well as leading through to the integral garage. There is also a shower room with WC on the ground floor.

The stair leads up to the first floor where there are five comfortable double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is situated to the front of the house while there are two further generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom on this side of the house, while there are two further double bedrooms on the other side of the landing. In addition to this, there is Ramsey ladder access to a floored attic which provides excellent further storage space.

The house is approached by a private driveway with parking for a couple of cars which leads to the integrated single garage. The garage is sufficient for parking a car, as well as providing further storage space. The house is set well back from the quiet road and has a colourful yet easily maintained front garden. A particular feature of this wonderful home is the delightful south-west facing garden which has been well planted with a range of colourful plants, shrubs and trees to provide an abundance of colour for much of the year. The well stocked borders surround a large central lawn while immediately to the rear of the house there is a terrace with a Pergola, ideal for enjoying the sunshine and offering plenty of space for external dining and entertaining. There is a garden shed at the foot of the garden while there is also a log store beside the terrace.
