Property Description

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Set back behind a smart block-paved front drive, the well-maintained exterior of this handsome house gives a great first impression that’s confirmed when you step up to the front door with its period leaded lights. This opens into a wide hallway with a stunning engineered wood floor that runs throughout the ground floor and leads to a living room at the front and an open plan kitchen/diner at the rear. There’s also a WC in the hallway, and a couple of handy built-in cupboards.

The property is unusual in having two lovely bay windows on each floor, at the front and rear of the building. At the front of the property the living room and main bedroom above both have a large curved bay, with bay windows also in rear kitchen/diner and second double bedroom above.

The living room is spacious and light, with simple white décor, and plenty of space for sofas that give it a serene feel.

From the hallway a neat pocket door leads to the almost 18 ft-long kitchen/diner which spans the width of the house at the rear. Fitted glossy handleless wall and floor cabinets wrap around one end and there’s a large dining area at the other. The cabinets provide plenty of worktop space and house a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances, whilst the dining area has an attractive wide bay window that provides garden views and access to the decked terrace.

On the first floor there are two similarly sized large double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The stairs and bedrooms are carpeted in neutral tones that complement the mainly white décor. Both double rooms are generously sized, and the single room has charming leaded lights in the windows. The bathroom is hotel-style, with large format floor and wall tiles and contemporary fixtures and fittings including a wall hung washbasin console and WC.

The low-maintenance, landscaped garden has a large deck that’s ideal for relaxing and entertaining with steps up to a long lawn with a specimen tree, attractive mature planting, and a garden shed at the end. The garden has rear access via a service road.

The property is in excellent condition throughout and has scope for extension to the rear and into the loft, as seen is several similar neighbouring properties.
