Description
This detached family residence has been thoughtfully extended to create a substantial open-plan living environment, ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining.
Ground Floor - A sliding glazed door opens from the entrance hallway into an impressive open-plan living area, featuring attractive herringbone-style oak flooring throughout. A beautiful bay window to the front elevation floods the room with natural light, while a central heating radiator, television point and decorative wall panelling enhance the space.
The living area flows seamlessly into an extended living, dining and kitchen space, creating a sociable and versatile heart to the home. To the rear, UPVC double-glazed sliding patio doors provide direct access to the garden, complemented by oversized windows and two rooflights within the extension that maximise natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching base and wall-mounted units, drawers and a central island, with the herringbone-style flooring continuing throughout.
Additional ground floor accommodation includes a useful understairs storage cupboard and a partially converted garage space, which offers potential for a variety of uses, subject to a purchaser's requirements. This area requires further renovation and completion.
First Floor - The staircase rises to the first-floor landing, providing access to four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a distinctive and spacious room featuring herringbone-style flooring, acoustic wall panelling, a feature fireplace and a raised platform designed to accommodate a freestanding bath with gold-effect fittings.
The two-storey extension has enhanced the bedroom accommodation, particularly the fourth bedroom, ensuring all four bedrooms offer comfortable proportions suitable for family living.
The family bathroom is currently incomplete and presently incorporates a WC only. We are advised by the vendor that it is their intention to complete the bathroom installation prior to completion of a sale.
Outside - To the front of the property, a paved driveway provides off-road parking and is complemented by a lawned garden area. Gated side access leads to the rear garden.
The rear garden has been landscaped to provide an attractive outdoor entertaining space, with a paved patio area ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Retaining brickwork leads to a raised lawn bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and herbaceous planting. Established hedging provides a good degree of privacy, while timber fencing with concrete posts encloses the boundaries. The garden enjoys an attractive open outlook, creating a pleasant and private setting.
N.B. - Prospective purchasers should note that the property remains a project requiring further renovation and finishing works in certain areas. However, it offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home and complete the accommodation to their own specification and style.
