Description
We are thrilled to present this 1960s detached family home, situated in the sought after location of Stoneygate. This exceptional property, offered with no onward chain, is a rare find and has ample potential.
Featuring a wrap-around driveway with ample off-road parking, this property boasts large picture windows that flood the home with natural light. Set within magnificent gardens filled with lush borders, shrubs, and mature trees, this home is truly a rare gem. On the market for the first time since its purchase in the early 1960s, this property offers a unique opportunity for full modernisation. With the potential to expand, STPP, it holds incredible promise for becoming an even more impressive family home.
A sweeping tarmac carriage driveway bordered by established hedges, trees and borders with a central circular tree leads up to the attractive property. Two garages, one on each side, have up-and-over doors and in the centre is a sliding glazed door into an enclosed porch. From here, a door opens into the wide entrance hall with the stairs to the first floor on the left and beneath is a WC.
On the right of the hall is the double-aspect living room with a gas fireplace on a raised stone hearth and surround with a wood mantel above. At the rear of the room are sliding glazed doors out onto the terrace and garden beyond. Opposite the stairs is the dining room which has the wonderful outlook over the south facing garden.
Adjacent to the dining room and also overlooking the garden is the kitchen, which is in need of modernisation and currently has a range of wall and base units, a double drainer stainless steel sink with twin taps, space for an electric cooker, fridge and/or freezer, and a washing machine. A part-glazed door opens into an outdoor lobby and the side access. Also in the kitchen is the boiler/heating unit and flue, which will need updating.
A turned staircase with a large facing window takes you to the first floor galleried landing where you will find access to floor-to-ceiling storage cupboards, four bedrooms, a study, a separate WC, the family bathroom and loft access. The principal bedroom, looks over the rear garden - and is the only bedroom without fitted wardrobe space.
The WC upstairs has a low-level toilet while the family bathroom has a panelled bath with twin taps and a pedestal wash hand basin below the window. There is also the airing cupboard in the bathroom housing the hot water tank.
A major feature of this property are the fabulous front and rear gardens which offer you a plethora of flora and fauna, plus an expansive lawn. At the front the carriage driveway provides extensive off-road parking and there are a mature borders, shrubs and trees both centrally and on either side.
On both sides of the property are side access routes to the rear and the absolutely spectacular garden. A full width paved terrace provides ample space for entertaining and leads on to manicured lawns with an a wonderful range of plants.
