Description

Northwood Incorporating Stevens are delighted to bring to the market this fantastic 4 bed detached family home.
Tucked away in a desirable position just off Langney Drive in Westbourne, this beautifully modernised & thoughtfully extended four-bedroom detached home offers spacious and flexible accommodation with a wealth of stylish updates and charming details throughout.
Upon entering, a generous hallway sets the tone with a cloaks cupboard ideal for coats, shoes, and everyday essentials. Under the stairs is an efficient and practical selection of storage which demonstrates an intelligent use of the space. A smartly presented cloakroom sits just off the hall, while doors lead to the lounge and dining areas. The lounge is bright, inviting and very generous, with a large window to the front and French doors opening into a snug/games room extension—perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with direct access to the garden terrace.
The heart of the home is an extended kitchen and dining space, connected by twin archways for a natural flow. The dining area is flooded with natural light thanks to a stylish skylight complimentary of the extension, while French doors open directly to the garden. The kitchen has been finished to a high standard with white wall and base units, light oak worktops, chrome detailing. Fitted dishwasher and range cooker and space for American-style fridge freezer. A side door leads to the side of the property and internal door to the integral garage, which is currently adapted as a utility/storage area complete with power, plumbing, and space for additional white goods.
Upstairs, the landing offers built-in storage and leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and another benefitting from its own en suite shower room. A fourth single bedroom and a separate study/office provide even more flexibility for families, home workers, or those needing extra guest space. The stylishly updated family bathroom features a vanity basin, low-level WC, and a bath with shower over and tiled surround. The spacious bedroom, ensuite and study extension above the garage enhance the upper level with added functionality and comfort.
