Ground Floor
Moving inside the home via the main front door, viewers will be brought into the long hallway that features high-quality Karndean flooring underfoot and a delightful Windsor radiator. From the hallway, the staircase is positioned in front of the entrance door with doors to the rear of the staircase opening through to the lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility room and the guest WC. There is also a handy understairs storage cupboard.
Beginning with the lounge, viewers will be amazed at the incredible size available in this reception room as the wide-open reception space offers many possibilities for sofa suite positioning and other furniture. A beautiful, traditional feature of the home is the sash windows that provide plenty of natural light, which is repeated throughout most rooms, particularly at the front of the house. To the left-rear of the lounge is an opening with a step down into the family room. Again carpeted, the family room is a long room that is ideal for a child’s playroom or home office and features French doors leading out to the garden. Between these two reception rooms is a highly efficient multi fuel burner, perfect in the winter for heating up such a large space.
To the right of the house is the dining room and kitchen. Although two separate rooms, these have been opened up to create a vast reception space that is ideal for entertaining family and friends. Viewers will love this kitchen with its large central island with breakfast bar, exposed chimney breast and range oven to the rear. The kitchen extends out to the rear with double glazing either side of the oven to provide an abundance of natural light. The units are cleverly built in around the chimney breast and are seamlessly fitted around the entire room leaving a single space for the range oven. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge-freezer, and the central heating combi-boiler is also well concealed within the units. Tiling to the flooring and decorative tiling to the splashback areas perfectly complements the suite.
The dining room is to the front and features a decorative fireplace sunk into the chimney breast, carpeted flooring and two sash windows. As depicted in the photos, the dining room can easily hold a large family dining table. Completing the ground floor is the guest WC with wash hand basin and toilet and the utility room which features units fixed to the right-hand wall with under-counter space with plumbing for a washing machine and an exit door to the rear garden.

As they move up to the top of the staircase, viewers will be greeted by a carpeted landing with doors leading off to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. At the top of the staircase, viewers will note the natural light is mainly coming from a feature window positioned high up the front wall at the top of the stairwell. The bedrooms comprise of two remarkable, vast bedrooms to the front and two smaller bedrooms to the rear, one double and one single.
Beginning with the master bedroom to the front-right of the house, this large double room features wood effect laminate flooring and a chimney breast that has large recesses on both sides, perfect for wardrobes. To the rear of the master bedroom is a stylish en-suite shower room with a large double shower cubicle with contemporary screen, large cabinet with two wash basins, wall mounted towel rail and toilet. Feature angled tiling is applied to the splashback areas to enhance the modern appearance.
To the left of the first floor is another similar-sized bedroom to the master. This second bedroom is equally as spacious with a chimney block to the rear of the room (to the right as you enter) and extra light allowed in by two sash windows.
At the rear of the first floor, the landing area bends to the left where there are a further two bedrooms. At the far end is bedroom three with enough ground floor space to make this a double bedroom. There is a sloping ceiling with protruding window looking out over the rear garden. The fourth bedroom is similar in having a sloped ceiling and window overlooking the garden, with this single bedroom having inventive storage cupboards to the left of the room.
The family bathroom is another impressive suite. It features a long bathtub at the far end of the room with wash basin, toilet and a classic Windsor radiator and accompanying towel rail. Furthermore, and not immediately apparent in the photographs, is a shower cubicle at the front of the room, making this the complete family bathroom suite.
Outside
As mentioned at the top, the property is positioned on an incredible plot and a huge part of this is the open rear garden. It mainly features a large expanse of lawn with shrubbery to the borders and two wooden sheds to the right. At the back left corner there is a feature pergola creating a pleasant seating area. The current owners have fenced off the front right of the garden giving access from the road to a generous yard to create a private outdoor workspace which the new owners may find very useful. Should the new owners prefer, it can be easily transformed back to it's original state as part of a large wrap around lawn.
