## Description

**QUOTE REF: FS0647**

A lovingly maintained and extended family home with one of the most beautiful gardens I have seen and with bright and spacious rooms that just require cosmetic upgrading to make this an ideal home for anyone wanting the amenities of Four Oaks including highly regarded schools, on their doorstep

The house has been owned by the existing sellers for many years and has made a wonderful home for them. The extension creates a superb dining / family room and with double doors leading off the lounge along with a door into the kitchen, the flow of the ground floor rooms is perfect for busy family life. There is then a useful utility/laundry room with a WC and storage room and opening into the garage. There is also side access to the driveway or into the garden

Upstairs there are three, exceptionally bright bedrooms and a modern shower room with a separate WC. I love the view of the garden from the back bedroom!!

Outside, it is clear that the garden has been much loved in the past and would make an ideal space for children to play along with a beautiful sunny aspect

Marlpit Lane is an ideal road for access to Little Sutton and Moor Hall Primary and Four Oaks train station can be accessed on foot along with all of the amenities of Mere Green and nearby convenience stores
