Description

If you have a family and you are now looking for a home to provide you with that little bit extra space, this could definitely be the one for you. The 18ft kitchen/dining room gives you plenty of room to have a large table and chairs, perfect for entertaining guests or just having a big sit down family meal on a Sunday afternoon. You can then retire to the cosy lounge to let your dinner go down, with its fireplace and view over the gardenOn a practical level the accommodation works in many ways, a utility room perfect for getting all that washing out of the way and hiding all your daily essentials out of sight.It is upstairs that this home really shows its star feature and that is the 3 double bedrooms. There should certainly be no arguments as to who has what room and if you have always wanted that large wardrobe or maybe even a dressing table, there will be plenty of space for you to arrange your furniture.It is not just inside this home but the outside space allows you to pull up on your drive and park by your front door, making it very easy for unloading your weekly shopping.The rear garden provides you with a secluded decked area which by the owners account can be a great little sun trap, perfect for relaxing in the summer time.What the Owner says:
We have made several improvements to the property since we have lived here including the installation of a new boiler and re-decorating many of the rooms.One of the main things that really attracted us was the lovely big kitchen/dining room, which is particularly ideal for gatherings and at Christmas we have had at least 10 people sitting round the table.Our home is particularly well positioned for all the amenities such as the schools and the town centre, allowing easy access onto the M2 motorway within a matter of a few minutes by car.Room sizes:GROUND FLOOREntrance HallLounge: 14'2 × 10' (4.32m × 3.05m)Study Area: 8'6 × 6'3 (2.59m × 1.91m)Kitchen/Dining Room: 18'6 × 10' (5.64m × 3.05m)Utility Area: 6'10 × 5'6 (2.08m × 1.68m)Bathroom: 8'8 × 6'8 (2.64m × 2.03m)FIRST FLOORBedroom 1: 14'4 × 10'2 (4.37m × 3.1m)Bedroom 2: 12'6 × 7' (3.81m × 2.14m)Bedroom 3: 14'7 × 10' (4.45m × 3.05m)OUTSIDEFront & Rear GardensDrive to Side for 2 Cars
