Catlow Close, Raunds

Magenta Estate Agents present an extended detached home which enjoys a cul-de-sac location and has been upgraded over the years of the present owner’s occupation including refitting the kitchen and bathroom and installing a wood-burning stove in the living room. The conversion of the former garage has created an additional multi-purpose ground-floor room ideal for use as a fourth bedroom with en-suite wet room. The ground-floor living space comprises a hall, living room, open-plan kitchen/dining room, and bedroom with en-suite wet room. Upstairs are three bedrooms, the master benefiting from fitted wardrobes, and a refitted shower room. To the rear of the property is a good-sized garden with lawned and decked areas, and a lean-to gazebo; to the front, a block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking.

GROUND FLOOR

HALL Enter the property to the front aspect into the hall which affords a warm and spacious welcome and features oak laminate flooring and stairs rising to the first-floor landing. A glazed door leads to the living room and a doorway to bedroom four/home office.

BEDROOM FOUR The garage conversion has created additional, flexible living space which blends seamlessly with the existing house. Formerly used as a ground-floor bedroom, it currently works brilliantly as a family room and offers oak laminate flooring, access via a loft ladder to the boarded loft space with light connected, and a front-aspect window. A pocket door leads to:

EN-SUITE WET ROOM Of a good size, the wet room is fitted with a wood-effect vanity basin unit with waterfall mixer tap and tiled splashback, low-level WC, shower area with Triton electric shower and complementary wall tiling, extractor fan, heated towel rail, and rear-aspect window.

LIVING ROOM Homely and beautifully presented, the living room enjoys a feature fireplace with Parkray ‘Aspect 5’ wood stove and timber effect fireplace beam; a cosy, warming focal point. You will also find oak laminate flooring, TV and telephone points and a front-aspect window. Open plan to:

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM A bright open-plan room for all the family to enjoy whether cooking or dining. The kitchen has been refitted with a styllish range of Shaker-style wall and base units with compact laminate work surfaces over, further comprising an undermount sink unit with mixer tap over, complementary tiling to splashbacks, built-in ‘Indesit’ gas hob, built-in ‘CDA’ electric oven and combination microwave oven, integrated appliances including dishwasher, tall freezer and tall fridge/freezer, useful understairs storage cupboard, rear-aspect window and French doors opening onto the rear garden.

BEDROOM TWO Another well-presented double bedroom with a rear-aspect window overlooking the garden.

BEDROOM THREE A single bedroom currently used as a study and enjoying neutral décor and a front-aspect window.

SHOWER ROOM Tiled from floor to ceiling, the former bathroom has been refitted to create a contemporary shower room which now includes a range of fitted bathroom furniture providing useful storage space and incorporating a basin and back-to-wall WC. There is also a shower enclosure with ‘rainfall’ shower head and separate hand shower, a heated towel rail, and a rear-aspect window.

OUTSIDE

The low-maintenance frontage is part enclosed by brick walling and mature hedging and has been block-paved to provide off-street parking for several vehicles.

Fully enclosed by wooden fencing, the rear garden is a good size with a level lawn and decked seating areas to the front and rear of the garden ideal for family play and entertaining in the warmer spring and summer months. When shade from the elements is needed, there is a great uPVC lean-to gazebo which if you have a patio heater or fire pit you could enjoy all the year round. Further benefits include an outside water tap, timber shed, log store and gated pedestrian access to the front of the property.
