## Description

The accommodation extends to over 2000 sq ft and is light and airy throughout. At ground floor a welcoming entrance hall with attractive wooden flooring leads to a large living room with bay window to the front elevaion and a feature fireplace.

The 'hub of the house' is the open plan family/dining/kitchen. The family/dining room has a working feature fireplace and double French doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of high quality base and eye level units, with integrated appliances.

A skilful conversion at lower ground floor has created an excellent sized laundry/utility room with extensive fitted storage cupboards. Prospective purchasers may choose to use this space as an additional reception room/office/home gym. There is also a cloaks/wc.

At first floor the principal bedroom spans the full width of the house and measures an impressive 12'4 x 17'2 and has custom designed shelving and cabinets. It also has its own well appointed en suite shower room. The second bedroom is also a generous double and enjoys a pleasing outlook over the gardens below. There is also a home office/study and a family bathroom. At second floor, there are two further double bedrooms, both of which have skylight windows and are flooded with natural light.

The property has an excellent relationship with the rear garden and doors from the family/dining room open directly onto a paved patio with pergola that creates a pleasant outdoor entertaining space. There is a second patio at the bottom of the lawned garden as well as a bespoke summer house that has both power and electric.

There is access to the garden via a side alleyway, that belongs to the property. To the front, a block paved driveway provides off road parking and there is an EV charging point.

The property lies within walking distance of Hale Village and is in the catchment area of some of the best local schools.
