House For Sale £900,000
Built by a reputable local builder in 1976, this individual property has a wonderfully functional layout with generous dimensions. Walking through the entrance porch leads to a large hallway providing access to all rooms, including w.c., coats' cupboard, and stairs leading to the first floor. The living room is double aspect with windows flooding the room with light and there is an eye-catching Italian stone open Fireplace. This room is 'L' shaped and benefits from a study area that has fitted shelves, cupboards and French doors granting access out to the garden. Modern living has encouraged families to make the most of the Kitchen; this one doesn't disappoint with space for a table, lots of wall and base units, breakfast bar, integrated appliances, walk-in larder, and a separate Utility room with its own units, plumbing for washing machine and stable door to the garden. With the Dining room next to the Kitchen there is an opportunity to take down the wall and open plan the entire area (subject to planning). Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms, mostly all with fitted wardrobes with hanging and shelving and space for occasional furniture. There is a family bathroom fitted with both a panel bath and separate shower cubicle, w.c., wash basin & heated towel rail. The Principal bedroom provides an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and a fully fitted en suite shower room.
Outside: The property sits on a generous plot. Set well back from the road with a shared driveway and private parking area for 5+ cars. Steps lead up to the house passing a double detached garage, which has an electric door, water, power, and lighting connected. Between the house and driveway is a beautiful outlook of lawn, and huge borders of flowers, trees, and shrubs, displaying all-year-round colour. Access to both sides of the property is securely gated for pets or children and a seating area to the side. The patio continues to the rear, considered excellent for entertaining and making the most of the evening sun. The Vendors have completely adored this garden and used matching the house bricks ( Freshfield Lane ) to all the walls and steps around for continuity. The rear garden is predominantly elevated from the property with a series of steps, anarea of lawn, and an herbaceous border.
