Description
The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to complement modern family living, with a wonderful sense of space and versatility. At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen, dining and family area, providing a sociable environment for everything from busy family mornings to relaxed evenings and entertaining friends. French doors open onto the rear garden, seamlessly connecting the living accommodation with the outdoors. A separate, generously proportioned lounge provides a cosy retreat when a little peace and quiet is called for, while a useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, providing excellent built-in storage. The principal bedroom enjoys the convenience of its own en-suite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a private setting for relaxation and outdoor entertaining, while the mature front garden enhances the property's attractive approach. Its quiet corner position also provides the considerable advantage of a larger-than-average driveway, comfortably accommodating at least three vehicles, in addition to a detached double garage.
The location is equally appealing, particularly for families and those who enjoy the outdoors. Marshall's Arm Nature Reserve and the beautiful riverside walks along the Weaver are practically on the doorstep, offering a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the surrounding countryside. A convenient walking route through the reserve also provides easy access to Hartford's excellent selection of schools, further enhancing the appeal of this sought-after residential setting.
Combining beautifully maintained accommodation, an excellent family-friendly layout and a superb location, this is a home that offers the perfect balance of comfortable everyday living and a peaceful village lifestyle.
