5 bed Detached House Sold
Why buy this home?
Parking is certainly not an issue at this property as you have the choice to park your car on the driveway in front of the double garage or in the additional space to the right of it.
The garage itself is substantial and has power and lighting as well as a recently laid flooring and storage in the eaves. Behind the garage, there is a space which the current owners have utilised as the perfect spot for their hot tub but this space would also be ideal for a shed should this be your preference. A gate provides access to the rear garden.
Once you have entered the property, the hall gives you an early indication of the quality of this home with wooden flooring flowing into the lounge, family room and w/c. It is spacious so easy to navigate a pushchair and a large under stairs cupboard provides storage for coats and shoes.
The kitchen is undoubtedly the star of this home and a wonderful area whether socialising with friends or family meals. Upgraded since the property was built, the stylish grey units compliment the granite worktops beautifully and fitted black AEG appliances including a double oven, a five-ring gas burner and an extractor fan enhance the contemporary feel. Additional integral appliances include a dishwasher and a wine fridge, with space for an American style fridge/freezer. Grey floor tiles lead into the utility room which has further storage, space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer and a door that leads out to the rear garden.
The lounge is warm and inviting and perfect for a family to catch up after a long day or simply to chill out in front of the TV. The focal point of the room is the log burner, perfect for a cosy winter's evening with a drink, watching the flames flicker. French doors lead out to the patio in the rear garden.
An additional reception room offers flexibility to the new owner and could be a playroom or a games room, an office or a formal dining room or simply another lounge should there be a clash of TV programmes!
The downstairs accommodation is completed by a w/c which has also been upgraded since the property was built.
The first floor is where you will find both the main and the second bedrooms. Both bedrooms are a fantastic size and are both serviced by their own en-suites. The en-suite in the main bedroom has been beautifully refitted with marble effect tiling, a walk in shower, his and her sinks, and a w/c. Black fittings give the en-suite an industrial look and a door takes you into your very own walk in wardrobe.
The first floor landing has an airing cupboard and a further storage cupboard.
The second floor has the remaining three bedrooms which are all doubles and the main bathroom. This floor is perfect for teenagers who are wanting some independence. All of the bedrooms are a similar size so there shouldn't be any arguments when deciding who gets which room. The bedrooms on this floor are serviced by the main bathroom which is fully tiled and has a w/c, a wash hand basin with a vanity unit, a bath and a heated towel rail.
To the rear of the property you have a perfectly manicured garden with raised sleeper beds and trees to provide privacy if hosting a BBQ in the warmer months. There is a patio area with an outside tap and a gate leading to the front of the property.
