## Description

4 Bedrooms l 2 Bath/Shower Rooms (one en-suite) l Lounge l Kitchen/Dining Room l Open Plan Family/TV Room l Utility Room l Guest Cloakroom l Brick Built Outbuilding l Southerly Aspect Gardens l

Breneck is a significant family home, brought to the market having been cleverly enlarged to deliver superbly appointed family accommodation in this excellent location. In truth the front view of the house belies the sheer space that is provided, offering over 1,400 sq ft of space including a magnificent Kitchen/Dining/Family room space eminently suitable for today's family lifestyle. When enlarged, careful consideration to the light enjoyed in all spaces was made with cascades of light from the Southerly aspect via the Velux skylights to augment the bi-folding doors & windows.

The remainder of the ground floor comprises a charming separate Lounge with a bay window as a 'grown-ups' retreat, an excellent utility room beyond the kitchen with its own outside access for muddy paws (both 4 & 2 legged variety!) with a guest cloakroom accessible from the reception hall to complete the act. A total of 4 really well proportioned bedrooms & 2 modern white bath/shower rooms populate the first & second floors to remain in perfect balance with the superb ground floor spaces.

Outside there is off-street private parking and an extremely useful brick built outbuilding for storing all the usual family necessities with the rear gardens enjoying a Southerly aspect to the rear, with a paved patio, lawn & privacy from all sides from a selection of lovely specimen trees & shrubs.

With Effingham Junction just 200 yards away & the amazing choices of both educational & recreational amenities which abound in the area for all generations, this home delivers comprehensive family accommodation and in our opinion is definitely one to view!
