Description

Description

I Hardwick Park Gardens is a handsome family home, featuring a particularly elegant front facade with symmetrical fenestration. The house is built of traditional red brick construction beneath a hipped roof-line and offers a surprising level of light and airy accommodation in brief comprising; entrance hall, reception hall with oak flooring and staircase rising to the first floor. There are a pair of glass French doors opening to an impressive drawing room, with double aspect windows, door to gardens, central fireplace and polished oak flooring. The ground floor accommodation is further complemented by a cloakroom, study, dining room with opening to a well equipped kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of built in storage units and integrated appliances. On the first floor is a landing with access to a large loft space. The master bedroom is a superb room with dual aspect windows, dressing area and an upgraded en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a family shower room, re-fitted with a large double shower. The property benefits from gas fired central heating and recently installed sealed unit double glazing. The agents would recommend an internal inspection in order to fully appreciate the overall personality of this fine home on offer.

The house is approached by a long driveway giving access to a detached double garage with up and over door. The gardens are a particular feature, providing the occupants with a good degree of privacy whilst being stocked with an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants. There is also a good sized vegetable plot and a terrace adjoining the rear of the house, creating a pleasant seating area enjoying views of the garden.
