House For Sale £800,000
This superb modern home is situated on a popular tree-lined road close to Riddlesdown and has been extensively modernised. With its contemporary, immaculately presented interiors and versatile layout, the property is ready to move into and is well suited to a variety of incoming purchasers. Originally constructed in the 1980s, the property benefits from high speed fibre optic cable connection and has undergone a full refurbishment by the vendor since 2010, including the addition of a balcony to capture the rear views, and the creation of an inviting entrance hall. With its upside-down layout the house is very flexible and lends itself well to entertaining, with large windows throughout affording excellent natural light. Highlights include the 20ft open plan kitchen/ dining room and the separate 18ft living room with cosy Morso wood-burning stove, both of which enjoy lovely far reaching views over the surrounding green spaces towards London. The property is entered on the upper ground floor, with the entrance hall having ample storage for coats. Access leads onto an internal hallway which opens to a fitted study, the sitting room, a cloakroom, and the open plan kitchen/dining area laid to engineered wood flooring and further benefits from a walk-in pantry, integrated appliances and mood lighting. Patio doors open to the balcony which provides a lovely elevated space to enjoy alfresco dining. The bedrooms are on the lower ground floor and are as light and airy as the rest of the accommodation. A generous hallway provides access to a main bedroom suite with fitted dressing room, which was originally a bedroom and en-suite shower room with underfloor heating; two further double bedrooms; a utility room; and a family bath/shower room complete with insulated bath and underfloor heating.
