House For Sale £280,000
The property
Introduction & Approach
Available with No Upward Chain, this remarkable semi-detached home in Hamstead will delight all viewers – especially those with either a disabled or elderly relative as there is a ground floor bedroom with wet room. The property is set back from Walcot Drive behind a wide driveway providing off road parking for up to three cars, side-by-side. From here guests will take the solid wooden front door to enter the home into the hallway.
Background & Modifications
The property’s extension was designed for the owner’s disabled son. The dining room to the right of the hallway was designated to be a carer’s bedroom and therefore this does offer the potential for it to be a fifth bedroom should the new buyer’s desire.
The extension was carried out in 2017 with a new boiler and complete rewire being carried out in the same year. The new flooring on the ground floor, re-plastering and the new family bathroom were all finished in February 2021, with the driveway being completed in June 2021.
Ground Floor
Immediately after entering the hallway, viewers will understand that they have entered a superbly finished home with high-quality tiling laid underfoot and lovely wooden doors to the lounge ahead, kitchen to the left and dining room to the right. The flooring is of the same tiling throughout the ground floor due to the underfloor heating.
The kitchen is very stylish with hi-gloss blue frontages and marble-effect work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a five-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan and chest height electric oven. There are clear spaces for a washing machine (with plumbing) and an American style fridge-freezer. These two appliances, shown in the pictures, are not available within the sale but are up for negotiation.
The lounge is an incredible double reception room where the new owners can position a plethora of furniture such as sofas, dining tables and entertainment units. There is an abundance of natural light allowed in by a wide set of French doors flanked by further windows. There is also access to the front of the room to the understairs storage cupboard.
To the right of the lounge is the largest bedroom in the house; an incredibly generous double bedroom that has access to the rear garden and sliding door access to a stylish wet room. The wet room features a chrome heated towel rail, extractor fan, wash hand basin, toilet and shower with drain fitted into the floor to ensure there are no trip hazards. The suite is finished with tiling to the walls and flooring.
First Floor
The first floor to the house is still the original layout with two double bedrooms to the right of the house, a single bedroom at the rear and family bathroom to the front. The largest bedroom at the rear has a recess perfect for a wardrobe whereas bedroom two has a wardrobe fitted as well as a deep storage cupboard that makes excellent use of the void above the stairwell.
The bathroom has been recently refitted and includes a bath with shower fitted above, chrome heated towel rail and a wash basin and toilet fitted into a hi-gloss unit. Apart from the bathroom, the first floor and staircase have been recently carpeted. The bathroom has an attractive vinyl laid.
Outside
The property is completed by a private rear garden that is accessed from both the ground floor bedroom and lounge French doors. It begins with a short, slabbed patio before rising to the lawn, covering the majority of the ground space. Tall wooden fencing to the boundaries helps the property maintain its privacy.
