This superb property offers far more than expected. On approach, the concrete parking area is suitable for many cars but could be extended into the front lawn area if more parking were required.
On entering the house, the hallway, with cloakroom at one end, leads to the 'wow!' of the kitchen/dining room, which catches many people out. This huge room has the kitchen fitted in a buttermilk, Shaker style, with ample storage and work surface, including a large island unit, and fitted with a Rangemaster cooking range and an integral microwave/oven and grill. The dishwasher and large fridge/freezer are also available under separate negotiation, if required. There is space for a large dining table and chairs and patio doors lead to the large patio and fantastic, lawn garden.
Adjoining the kitchen, the utility room has space for the usual appliances and a useful door into the garage.
Away from the social hub and activity of the kitchen/dining room, the sitting room is perfectly set up for escaping the and relaxing in comfort.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three doubles and a single, not huge but the doubles have the advantage of fitted wardrobes, so less furniture is required. The principal bedroom has a vanity unit and shower cubicle fitted, avoiding any arguments when everyone is getting ready to leave the house in the morning! The family bathroom is attractively fitted with a white suite with pine furniture and has an electric shower over the bath.
Outside, paths lead either side of the house to the rear garden, which is extensive, more than a seventh of an acre! This is quite unique for this type of property and an absolute haven for children to play and let of steam, whilst watched from the kitchen or the large, newly laid patio, coffee in hand. The patio is perfect for relaxing or entertaining with al fresco dining, as it enjoys a sunny, south-westerly aspect. The garden is principally laid to level lawn, with some established trees and raised beds to one side for flowers or vegetable production.
