Description

Tucked away in a quiet cul de sac within a highly sought after development is this refurbished detached home. Originally built in 2003 this home was the only property of this design on the whole development and offers lots of flexibility. Over the years our vendors have refurbished and extended the property creating a fantastic home.

From the covered porch you step into a hallway with a staircase to the first floor and a ground floor WC. The sitting room is front aspect and features a box bay window along side a multi fuel wood burner ready for cozy winter evenings. Also front aspect is the useful snug which is currently used as a media room. Overlooking the rear garden is a home office/dining room with French doors. The kitchen has been recently reconfigured and extended and has a range of modern eye and base level units and ample worktop preparation space. There is a sizable dining conservatory with a self cleaning glass roof. Alternatively this space is a perfect room to enjoy the view over the rear garden. Adjoining the kitchen is a most useful utility room with door out to the garden.

On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom is front aspect and has a range of built in floor to ceiling mirror fronted wardrobes complete with lights. A door opens into the re fitted en suite shower room. Bedrooms 2 are 3 are double bedrooms ideal for guests and children. Finally bedroom 4 overlooks the rear garden and is a good size single. The family bathroom has also been refitted with a modern suite and include a shower over the bath.

In front of the property is driveway parking for 2 vehicles. The rear garden is fully enclosed to all sides and is full of colour and interest. The is a well stocked flower boarder, lawn and a sunny outside seating area. At the bottom of the garden is a useful container currently used as a workshop.
