Owner's comments

"We bought our home from new almost 5 years ago and as our first home together it holds a special place in our hearts. We have hosted many friends and family in the gorgeous open kitchen and had many a bbq in the garden when the sun is shining. As the sun sets at the front of the property, you get a beautiful golden glow through the bay window into the front room in the evenings, paired with overlooking the field views in front of the house. We’ve split the garage in half, turning the back half into a room that is currently used as a music room, but holds so much potential for a home office or even just extra storage. It’s been the perfect home for us for the past 5 years, and we would love for someone else to be able to enjoy it like we have."

Accommodation

The care that has gone into maintaining this home since its construction in 2020 is immediately apparent upon stepping through the front door. A welcoming entrance invites you in and the traditional layout features a cloakroom with WC and wash basin to the left, stairs also to the same side along with an under stairs storage cupboard and a sitting room to the front. The living space makes for a cosy room to shut away in the evening and enjoy a film, but also a pleasant area to host guests. A feature bay window to the front adds character to the newly-built home, benefitting from a peaceful outlook, being that the home is situated towards the end of a no-through road. Being also positioned on the edge of the development, the front has uninterrupted views towards open greenery. 

Leading straight up the hallway, a door presents the hub of the home - the open plan kitchen/dining room. Ample space is provided for a dining table and chairs, while double doors head out to the garden. This great entertainment space is the perfect sociable room to enjoy get togethers with friends and host the family, with a fixed breakfast bar allowing for the more casual eating arrangement. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of fitted wall and base cupboards and drawers, along with worktop space aplenty. Fitted appliances include an electric oven with a gas hob and extractor canopy over, washing machine, in addition to space for a dishwasher and free-standing fridge/freezer. A cupboard houses the boiler and a stainless steel sink sits underneath a window overlooking the rear garden.

Rising to the first floor, the landing gives access to each of the bedrooms as well as the family bathroom. Bedroom two at the rear aspect is a comfortable double room, served by the family bathroom which comprises a white suite to include a WC, wash hand basin and a panelled bath with shower over. This is complete with a partially tiled surround and all with modern chrome fitments. Bedroom three is a single room at the front elevation, alongside the principal bedroom with handy fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite facility which rounds off the main accommodation. This comprises a WC, wash hand basin and an enclosed shower cubicle. Both front bedrooms also boast the aforementioned naturistic views of fields that adjoin the edge of the development. 

Outside & parking

No.8 is situated attractively in front of open green space and towards the end of a no-through road, making it quiet and desirable position. To the front there is a double width tarmac driveway with space to park one vehicle and a short path leading up to the front door. Also behind the driveway is a pedestrian gate opening into the garden at the left hand side of the house. A patio wraps around and adjoins the back of the property, while fencing borders each side of the garden. This easy-to-maintain space is largely laid to lawn, broken up by a short path laid to shingle which leads from the patio to a raised decking area, which is the perfect seating space which enjoys the sunshine. The sellers have partially converted the garage and wisely kept a third or so at the front as storage, which always comes in handy, while adapting the rear section into what they use as a music room. This flexible area could easily be an ideal home office, separate to the main part of the house, or a hobby room to enjoy whichever leisure time one desires.
