House For Sale £500,000
Merlins Avenue, Merlins Bridge, Haverfordwest SA61


Description
Situated on the edge of Haverfordwest this detached four/five bedroom house has undergone a staggering renovation by its current owners. Starting its life as a 1960s bungalow, the current owners purchased it from the original occupants of the property. Seeing the potential in the large plot and the convenient position, they have created a fantastically well thought out family home. While taking the property back to its bare bricks, they also added a large extension to the rear and first floors along with a new, detached garage with the potential for an annex above it.

On the ground floor you enter the property and walk into a cleverly designed central hallway which feeds into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room. As a central hub for the family, this room functions perfectly and the central island enables you to keep an eye on any children that are in the rooms that radiate off it. One of the most impressive rooms on the ground floor is the newly created family room to the rear. Overlooking the rear garden through two sets of bifold doors which make up the entire corner of the space, this spacious room is ideal for large family gatherings and parties. At the front of the property is another, more intimate, sitting room which would make an ideal television or more formal reception area. Completing the ground floor is a practical utility room, a double bedroom, storage room/office, and a shower room.

The first floor has four double bedrooms, including the impressive ensuite master and a family bathroom. The ensuite master bedroom is a particular highlight with a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden and a simply stunning ensuite with walk in shower and freestanding bath.

Next to the main house a new detached double garage perfectly complements the ample parking at the front of the property. This flexible structure provides a huge amount of storage but has been constructed with the view that it could be used as an annex if needed. On the first floor of the building a utility area could easily be turned into a full kitchen, and a shower could be installed in the first floor lavatory as the respective electrics and plumbing are already in place to do this.

Not only is the space inside the property perfect for a growing family, the outdoor areas beautifully complement this too. With parking for numerous vehicles at the front of the property and a fully enclosed rear garden, the property would perfectly accommodate children of all ages. The low maintenance gardens to the rear have been split between a raised composite deck entertaining space and a large flat lawned area. To enhance both spaces the owners have installed a recessed swim spa in the decking along with an area for a climbing frame and trampoline next to the lawn.

This property perfectly combines a convenient location and all the local amenities it offers with a well thought out and perfectly executed renovation. The current owners saw the potential in both the property and the plot when they first viewed it and it is a true pleasure to see it so expertly created.

Entrance Hallway
Entering from the doorway, you pass into the original entrance hallway which leads back into the newly creating central hall which acts as a hub for the rest of the property. With the new, solid wood staircase rising to the first floor, this space also opens into the kitchen, side hallway, and through an open archway into the family room at the rear. This large space could be considered a reception area in its own right but is a perfect space to keep track of the family as all the ground floor room open off it. This space, along with the kitchen and family room, are finished with warm engineered oak flooring.

Kitchen / Breakfast Room
Opening off the central hallway is the newly fitted kitchen. This space boasts a large central island that provides a breakfast bar along with housing the sink (equipped with a useful kettle tap) and integrated dishwasher. A gas Rangemaster cooker and hob provides another focal point to this space with an integrated microwave grill and freestanding American style fridge freezer completing the white goods. The kitchen has been finished in soft pastel tones with a solid granite worktop completing the high quality feel.

Family / Dining Room
Steps lead down from the central hallway to the newly added large rear extension. This flexible space is a perfect family room with the side and rear wall having an impressive row of bi-fold doors as their centre piece. Opening out to the garden in such a seamless way, this room would be ideal for a party or family gathering. Underfloor heating is run through this room which ensures that it stays warm and welcoming in the colder months.

Sitting Room
At the front of the property there is a more intimate or formal sitting room. Complementing the large family room, this space would be the ideal room to settle down and watch a film or entertain guests when the children have been put to bed.

Utility Room
Down the central hallway from the kitchen is a handy utility room which ensures the open plan kitchen stays free of noisy white goods like the washing machine and dryer. This room also provides more storage space in its range of kitchen base units, space for an additional freestanding fridge, and an external door to the rear decking.

Study / Storage Room
Next to the utility room and overlooking the rear garden is another flexible space. Currently used as a storage room this could easily function as a home office, hobby room, or even a compact single bedroom if needed.

Ground Floor Shower Room
At the end of the central hallway you find a handy ground floor cloakroom with the added benefit of a walk in double shower which is ideal for those coming in from the swim spa in the garden or for anyone using the ground floor fifth bedroom.

Bedroom Five
Situated at the front of the property, this bedroom has windows to the front and side and would function perfectly as a ground floor bedroom, a home office, or a gym, as it is currently utilised.

First Floor Landing
From the central hallway you climb up the new staircase to the spacious first floor landing. Leading to all the bedrooms on this level and the family bathroom, this large space is kept light and airy by a window to the front and a Velux rooflight to the rear. There is enough space on the landing to create an office/workspace to the fore. From the landing you can access a built in cupboard next to bedroom two along with the very large airing cupboard which provides valuable drying and storage space.

Bedroom One
Positioned at the rear of the property in the new extension, this large master bedroom suite is the perfect place to unwind after a long day. With a Juliet balcony and large window overlooking the rear garden and ample space for freestanding bedroom furniture, this is a fitting master bedroom for this impressive property.

En Suite Bathroom
Off the master bedroom is an ensuite that would rival many high end spas. Feature tiles have been beautifully finished and perfectly complement the high quality sanitary wear. With a beautiful freestanding bath set in a walk in shower area, this bathroom is the perfect place to start or finish your day.

Bedroom Two
Situated at the front of the property, this good sized double bedroom has access to the eaves storage space and a window to the side. It is positioned next to the family bathroom and has easy access to the large storage cupboard on the first floor landing. This room would be ideal for guests or older children.

Bedroom Three
Positioned next to the master bedroom, this double bedroom would make an ideal nursery or bedroom for younger children. Overlooking the rear garden, this bedroom is also flooded with light from the setting sun.

Bedroom Four
The second bedroom positioned towards the front of the property on this level, this double bedroom has a window looking out to the side/eastern aspect of the property.

Family Bathroom
Accessed off the landing, this family bathroom has a bath with shower over it, hand basin in a vanity unit, and lavatory. A Velux roof light to the rear ensures this room is bright and well ventilated.

Garage / Annex
Separate from the main property with its own pedestrian access to the side along with the large electric garage door, this space would make for a perfect storage/workspace with a large self-contained office or annex above.

This double garage is accessed from the driveway via the electric up and over door and from the side by a glazed pedestrian entrance. A perfect space to work on a cherished vehicle, or a perfect games room, this space has been finished with a tiled floor and run of kitchen base units to provide extra storage options. A short staircase leads down to the garden room at the rear, with access to the cloakroom on the same level, and the staircase to the office space above.

Cloakroom
At the rear of the main level there is a handy lavatory, perfect if you are working in the garage or garden.

Home Gym / Garden Room
To the rear of the garage building is a flexible room which opens onto the garden via a set of French Windows. This room could fulfil several uses: Currently it is used as a home gym, but it would also be a perfect garden room to house any cooking or electrical appliances or to provide a covered seating area.

Kitchenette
A staircase leads up from the garage to the rear gallery style kitchenette. Currently housing a row of kitchen base units and sink, there are electric sockets in place to turn this into a full kitchen should this space be needed as a full annex. Two Velux roof lights keep this space light and airy.

Cloakroom
Off the kitchenette you find an additional cloakroom to complement the one found on the ground floor. Similarly to the kitchen space, this has been future proofed with plumbing for a shower so that it can be turned into a full shower room if required.

Office / Open Plan Living Space
At the front of the building and overlooking the driveway is this large office space. With enough room for several workstations it would be ideal for those working from home, but it would also comfortably provide a living/bedroom area if this space was utilised as an annex. There is a large walk in cupboard off this room to provide extra space and storage.

External
To the front of the property is a new, large, tarmacked driveway with block paved edging. This driveway offers enough space for numerous vehicles and leads to the separate double garage and gated access to the rear garden.

At the rear of the property is a spacious enclosed garden, ideal for providing a secure playground for children and pets. From the bi-fold doors of the family room you walk out onto a large raised composite deck, which leads over to the recessed swim spa. The deck is finished with a modern glass balustrade which separates this area from the newly laid lawn below. The lawn is flanked by low maintenance planting with a tiled patio walkway leading around to a children’s play area to the rear of the garden.
