Description
Offering spacious and versatile accommodation, the property would be ideally be suited to a growing family. The ground floor layout comprises of an entrance hallway, lounge, open-plan kitchen-diner, conservatory, utility room and W.C.
The first floor consists of four generously proportioned bedrooms with the master being a particularly impressive size. Three of the bedrooms benefit from built in wardrobes and the master features a luxurious en-suite shower room. From the landing there is also a family bathroom finished to the same high end standard as the en-suite.
The front of the property faces onto a pleasant outlook and provides ample driveway parking leading to an integral garage. At the rear is an established garden that features a patio seating area and a good degree of privacy and seclusion.
The current owner has subjected the property to a programme of refurbishment and improvements and in our opinion the property is presented to the highest standard of decorative order thus allowing any potential purchaser the ability to move straight in. Rarely do homes of this nature stay on the market for long and Brantons expect this to be no exception.
