Description
The detached family home is towards the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, the outlook to the front is pleasantly open and not overlooked. A footpath at the end of the cul-de-sac leads to open fields over which the first-floor bedrooms sneak a view.
The four bedroom property is presented in immaculate condition throughout, a testament to the vendors taste.
The large kitchen is a bright, contemporary space open to the utility room which is complete with matching units and separate sink, which in turn gives access to the smartly appointed cloak room.
The sitting room opens through to the dining room by double doors, providing space to entertain or with the doors closed, a more intimate and warm space. The dining room in turn opens through to the large conservatory at the rear of the property, with a paved terrace for entertaining, bounded by shaped lawn and mature borders. There is a covered outdoor cooking area to the rear of the garden, perfect for entertaining.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, the master having a smart en-suite shower room with double shower enclosure. The remaining three bedrooms, all of which also have fitted wardrobes are served by the contemporary principal bathroom.
The property is in a very popular location, on the outskirts of the canal town of Stone. The cricket club is within walking distance as is the centre with all the amenities one would expect of a market town.
Stone boasts excellent connections to the wider transport network the station having regular services to the mainline stations of Stoke on Trent and Stafford. The M6 motorway is a short distance away as is the A50 linking the Potteries to the M1 to the east.
There are well regarded primary and secondary schools in the town in addition to the numerous sports and leisure facilities.
