Accommodation

Stepping in from the front door and into a useful porch area, providing access into the main sitting area. A pleasant room with ample space for a sofa suite and furniture, while stairs rise to the first floor. A door leads into the kitchen/dining and family area which is without doubt the hub of the home. This large, bright space is illuminated by a set of double doors that present the garden and Velux windows in the extended kitchen. Perfect for entertaining guests as well as suiting a growing family, the sociable room has ample space for a dining table and chairs in addition to further seating areas. The kitchen itself is fitted with a wide range of wall and base units for excellent storage, along with worktop space aplenty and room for an American style fridge/freezer. A freestanding Rangemaster cooker has a gas hob with a fitted extractor canopy over. A further extra space and useful addition to the home is the utility room with space for appliances, including a washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside coat hanging space and extra storage cupboards. Furthermore, there is a cloakroom with wash basin and WC, and completing the ground floor is versatile room which is currently utilised as a playroom, although it could be a snug/office, partially converted from the garage.

Heading upstairs, the landing presents each of the three bedrooms as well as the family bathroom. This four piece suite serves each of the bedrooms and consists of a WC, wash basin, bath with fully tiled surround and an enclosed shower cubicle. The main bedroom is positioned at the rear while a second double room is to the front, both of which boast handy built-in wardrobes. A final single room rounds off the property and is complete with an additional built-in storage cupboard.

Outside & parking

To the front, the driveway has space to park one vehicle in front of an attached garage which, as previously mentioned, has been partly converted and is now a handy extra storage area. A wide pedestrian gate accesses the garden from the side, and this is where the unique proposition of this home is on full display.

Having acquired additional unused land that adjoined the original garden, the owners have amalgamated this into one large space which now makes for an unusually huge back garden for properties in this particular area. An expansive patio connects to the back of the property, allowing for a pleasant and sociable seating area in front of the double doors from the family room. The patio also wraps around the side of the property where there is a private extra resin section, acting as an enclosed play area for children. The garden is enclosed with fencing all the way around the plot, making it ideal for anyone with children and pets. Primarily, the rest of the garden is laid with lawn and has space for a range of different uses. It is decorated with an array of small, established trees to add colour and variety, while there is ample space for storage sheds. What's more, the garden and back of the house faces directly west, attracting the sun from late morning and all throughout the day and into the evening.

Furthermore, it is believed there is excellent potential for another extension to the property, subject to development planning consent.
