Why buy this home?

Thanks to its distinctive design, this modern home stands out from many others on the popular Sandhills development, and it is presented in excellent condition throughout.

The roomy entrance hall makes everyday routines simple, with ample space for pushchairs and for everyone to get shoes and coats on before heading out.

To the left of the entrance hall, the kitchen/diner is a sociable, family-friendly space, ideal for entertaining or spending quality time together cooking or baking. The kitchen is fitted with light-toned cabinetry and wood-effect worktops, alongside an oven with gas hob and extractor. There’s plenty of storage, with the option to add more or incorporate open shelving for easy access to everyday essentials. In addition to the fitted appliances there is space for a fridge/freezer, a washing machine and a dishwasher. The dining area is spacious enough to accommodate a large table, whether round or rectangular, offering flexibility to suit your needs. French doors flood the room with natural light and open directly onto the garden, offering a seamless flow for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Tiled flooring completes the space, keeping it practical, stylish, and easy to maintain.

The living room is a good size and has a cosy, welcoming feel often missing in modern homes. The current owners have a large corner sofa, which helps free up space in the rest of the room for children to play or for family activities. A set of French doors, like those in the kitchen/diner, open onto the rear garden, providing an excellent flow to the home and allows parents to easily keep an eye on children playing outside from whichever room they are in.

The accommodation downstairs is completed by a W/C fitted with a toilet and a wash hand basin.

A well-designed rear garden is a superb, low-maintenance outdoor space, perfectly set up for relaxation and entertaining. The garden is primarily laid to an expansive patio, featuring attractive natural stone paving that creates a substantial outdoor dining and seating area. This generous patio offers plenty of room for outdoor furniture and a barbecue, making it ideal for hosting friends and family. From the patio, steps lead down to a small section of artificial turf, adding a touch of greenery without the need for regular mowing. A gate at the rear of the garden takes you to the additional parking area.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged around a spacious landing. The main bedroom is impressively sized, comfortably accommodating a king-size bed with bedside tables, as well as additional furniture such as wardrobes and a chest of drawers. It benefits from a beautifully re-fitted en-suite, finished to a high standard with contemporary black fittings that give it an industrial touch. The sleek shower cubicle, modern wash hand basin and WC are perfectly complemented by traditional mosaic tiling, creating a striking blend of character and modern design. The second bedroom is a spacious double, filled with natural light from two windows that make the room feel bright and inviting. It also features a fitted wardrobe, providing practical storage while keeping the floor area open and uncluttered. The third bedroom is a well-proportioned single, ideal as a nursery, child’s bedroom or even a home office, depending on your needs.

You won't be short of parking at this home with up to three spaces available on the drive and additional two more dedicated spaces to the rear of the home.
