Comrade Avenue, Shipham

Approached by a private stone walled enclosed driveway there is plenty of off street parking for a good number of vehicles plus space for a caravan or motor home. To the right of the driveway there is a detached garage with an attached garden store to the right and a separate freezer room to the rear. The front garden is mainly laid to attractive stone chipping with a pathway leading to the front door and planted borders.

You enter the property into a spacious hallway where to the left you will find a handy utility room with a large cupboard housing the washing machine and tumble drier and a cloakroom with toilet and basin. The living room is just a little way along the corridor and is a beautiful light and airy room that has a fantastic aspect over the properties rear garden, along with access via sliding patio doors. There is further window window to the side allowing even more natural light. This generous 27'0 room is an excellent space for all the family to congregate and features a period style gas fireplace to one end. From the living room internal French doors flow into the superb kitchen/dining room, another impressive space with lots of excellent light, it is fitted with a selection of chic, modern, wall and base units with a quartz counter top. There are several integrated appliances including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, two eye level electric Neff self cleaning ovens and an induction hob. There is plenty of space for a dining room table and chairs. To the side of the kitchen a door leads through to a rear porch which opens onto the side pathway which leads to the garage, with a freezer room, and to the front and into the rear garden. 

To the far end of the kitchen/dining room a pair of French doors lead through to another versatile reception room which could be used for a multitude of purposes including a family room, study/library, sitting room or even a home office. This fantastic room has dual aspect windows and a door that leads into the main en-suite bedroom. The room features a window overlooking the garden, built in wardrobes, and access into an en-suite shower room with a vanity sink, walk in shower, low level WC and two side aspect windows. It is worth noting that the combination of the bedroom and reception/family room could easily form an annexe for a dependent relative or independent teenager!

To the opposite side of the house are the three remaining bedrooms, including a generous dual aspect guest bedroom which features built in wardrobes, there is a further large bedroom with a Jack and Jill door to the family bathroom, along with a fourth more modest bedroom which is currently used as a study/home office but would make an ideal younger child's bedroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite including corner shower, vanity sink, low level WC and a side aspect window and access off the hall. There is some further potential that could be explored in the house (subject to the necessary permissions) in the form of the large loft which is already fitted with a skylight and has been previously used as a home office/hobby room.

The property is presented in excellent decorative order throughout along with gas central heating and fast broadband.

The attractive and remarkably private rear garden has a westerly aspect and is fully enclosed by a beautiful stone wall. There is a lovely elevated brick patio and the majority of the garden is laid to a neat lawn. To the rear of the garden is a lovely water feature, whilst a number of well planted raised beds add a splash of colour. There is a second discrete side garden that has lots of potential and could be utilised as a vegetable garden, or indeed a quiet spot to read a book in complete privacy. To the rear of the house is an electric awning, perfect for those bright summer days and of course al fresco dining.
