Description
This appealing and well-situated house really does need to be viewed to appreciate the generous living accommodation and tucked away location with lovely views out over the rear Garden.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a warm and inviting Reception Hall with access to a handy cloakroom with a WC and stairs leading up to the first-floor accommodation. The Dining Kitchen is perfect for informal family dining, with plenty of space for a large kitchen table, a good range of kitchen units, a Range Master oven that's included in the sale, and space for your dishwasher and tall fridge freezer. A door leads out to the side of the property, and off the Kitchen is a large Utility Room, which has plenty of room for your washing machine, tumble dryer, coats and boots.
The Living Room is spacious and bright, highlighted by a charming brick-built inglenook fireplace that adds character to this lovely room. A box bay window floods the room with natural light, and French doors open to the Conservatory, offering additional living space to enjoy throughout the year.
The sense of space continues as you head up to the first floor Gallery Landing off which are Bedrooms and Bathroom.
The Principal Bedroom is comfortably large, with built-in wardrobes and a dressing table that maximize storage potential. Attached is a large En Suite featuring a walk-in wet room-style shower, a wash hand basin, and a WC, contributing to the feeling of quality and space. The Family Bathroom complements the En Suite with both a shower and bathtub, along with a hand wash basin and WC.
There are three further Double Bedrooms making this very much a family home, with one of the Bedrooms currently being used as a Study.
Externally, the property sits on a good-size plot at the end of the cul-de-sac. To the front is a wide Driveway giving you Parking for several cars, and the Double Garage has been converted to a Games/Media space that's currently used as a snooker room.
To the rear of the property is a generous Garden set over two terraces. The top terrace has a large patio entertaining area, lawn and mature flower beds, and then steps lead down to the lower terrace with a central flower bed, wide mature borders and a striking Summer House that is available by separate negotiation.
The property is in a great location, being within walking distance of the picturesque Shropshire Union Canal and The Grove School, with easy access to Market Drayton Town Centre and the A53 making it easy to explore the surrounding areas.
