Description
12 Chestnut Way is a well presented and spacious family home which was constructed in the mid 1960's and sits within a generously sized plot of about 0.31 acres. From the tarmac driveway the front door opens into an enclosed porch with a glazed door through to a wide reception hallway. Accessed off the hall is a sitting room of 21'6"x 13'0", which has an attractive fireplace with coal effect gas fire and a very large picture window providing a lovely outlook over the garden. Double doors can be opened from the sitting room to connect the adjoining dining room, which also has a door from the hallway and French doors leading to the patio.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units and incorporates a dual fuel range cooker. An external door opens onto the patio and rear garden.
There is a further spacious reception room on the ground floor which has an en suite WC and separate shower room. This room previously had a fitted kitchenette and the services are still in place. This is an ideal room to provide accommodation for a dependant relative, guest accommodation as a fifth bedroom, or as a home office space. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom accessed off the hallway.
Stairs lead from the hallway to the first floor landing. The dual-aspect master bedroom has a large range of fitted wardrobes and also an en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, one currently used as a study, and a family bathroom.
Outside
The property is set back off Chestnut Way and benefits from a tarmac driveway and front garden laid mainly to lawn. The front boundary is defined by a low brick wall and mature borders with shrubs. A side gate provides access to the extensive rear garden which is a great feature of the property. There is a patio area at the rear of the house and a path leading down the garden which is laid mainly to lawn and incorporates a range of conifers but also a fantastic display of Acers. The garden is south-west facing.
An arrangement of conifers screens the lower section of the garden which includes a greenhouse, shed. Summer house, and potential vegetable garden, currently used as a children’s play area. The gardens are surprisingly private.
Outbuilding
A large outbuilding of circa 534 sq ft (gia) is of timber construction with power connected. The vendors have previously used this as a home office and it has potential for a range of uses, subject to consents.
