The Property
Offering the perfect blend of modern convenience within a period setting, this property has been further enhanced by the current vendor during their ownership, adding character features such as cast iron radiators, plantation shutters and a wood burner. In line with the original developer’s eco-friendly principles, the house was designed with efficiency in mind and as one would expect benefits from attractive double-glazed windows throughout and multi-zone mains gas central heating. The design itself was cleverly thought out, providing a much larger than average master bedroom suite for a house of its type, making this the perfect home for those wanting that feeling of space and luxury whilst having ample room for the rest of the family. It’s also the perfect lock up and leave, with a full alarm system in place for peace of mind and potentially little day to day maintenance. For those requiring good connectivity the property benefits from superfast fibreoptic broadband.
The entrance hall very much sets the tone for the style of the accommodation with travertine tiles throughout leading in to the downstairs cloakroom/WC and Utility room. The staircase has been attractively finished off in oak and the cast iron radiators give a feel of character. The utility room has a handy door leading to the rear garden making it the perfect dog or boot room. A range of wall and base units with ceramic Belfast sink and mixer tap. Space for washing machine and tumble dryer.
The kitchen has been improved with off-white shaker doors and trims and the addition of a double larder unit. The kitchen is well equipped with integrated dishwasher, Siemens gas hob and double oven including combination convection / microwave and steam function. The full-length integrated fridge is a real bonus and is complimented by an under-surface freezer. The boiler is hidden away within a complimentary unit and the layout of the units includes ample deep pan drawers as well as wall mounted cupboards and shelving with the added bonus of a newly fitted larder cupboard. Plantation shutters give a feel of luxury whilst providing privacy. Double glazed door flow in to the living room with has the bonus of a wood burner and large glazed door bringing the outside in. Both the kitchen and lounge have engineered oak flooring throughout.
On the first floor the landing leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom, attractively fitted with contemporary grey tiling and a white suite. The master bedroom is unusually spacious for a three bedroom property and enjoys a light and airy aspect thanks to the full length picture windows to the rear. Two double built in wardrobes with oak doors provide good storage and adjacent is sizeable en suite with stone effect tiling throughout and a contemporary suite including double shower cubicle with mains shower. Bedroom three is also at the rear and is a single room with further oak doors opening to the sizeable airing cupboard with hot water cylinder.
Outside
To the front the property is approached over a shared road leading to the development. Waterwheel Court is accessed over a shared gravelled driveway and there are two allocated parking spaces immediately to the front of the house. A side access path via a timber gate leads to the rear garden.
The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped by the current owner making it very much an extension to the accommodation itself and a real feature of the property. Keen gardeners will appreciate there is enough to potter with and enjoy, whilst those looking for less to do will find it very adaptable to a lower maintenance style of living.
Rear patio area with outside power sockets has a timber shed at the lower level, perfect for storage. Hamstone retaining walls include a set of sweeping stone steps that curve their way up gently to a slightly higher level, aided by discreet outside lighting, onto a substantial patio providing plenty of room to entertain and dine. The patio and adjacent lawn, are edged with cottage garden style borders thoughtfully planted with a range of shrubs, perennials and biennials including foxgloves, lavender and roses. An ornamental birch tree and a small apple tree provide focal points, whilst espalier crab apples help to provide additional privacy above the east boundary wall. A second timber shed on the upper level will also be staying
