Use reference AN0980

23 Halifax Road is a substantial detached home that has been extended and adapted to suit the demands of modern family life. With over 2,200 square feet of accommodation, five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, it offers generous space throughout while still feeling practical and well balanced.

The property has ample parking to the front, making day-to-day life and entertaining straightforward. Stepping inside, the large entrance hall immediately gives a sense of the scale of the house and sets the tone for what follows. There is room to come in, pause, and properly arrive. To the right is a versatile front-facing room that works equally well as a home office, playroom or a more private space for children or teenagers, separate from the main living areas.

Moving through the hall, the house opens into the kitchen and dining area, which forms the heart of the home. The kitchen is modern, well laid out, with extensive eye-level and base units, a built-in fridge and freezer, integrated dishwasher, double oven and gas hob. The central island provides additional storage and a casual seating area, ideal for everyday meals or conversation while cooking. Underfloor heating runs throughout this space, adding comfort and making it a pleasant place to spend time year-round.

Just off the kitchen is a utility room, keeping laundry appliances and household tasks neatly out of sight. From here there is access into the garage, which has electricity and boarded storage above. This space offers flexibility, whether for storage, a workshop or a home gym.

The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table, making it well suited to family gatherings and celebrations. Above, a roof lantern fills the room with natural light during the day and adds a sense of openness. A log burner provides a focal point and warmth in the colder months, while sliding doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the space to flow outside during the summer. Adjacent to the dining area is the main lounge, a generous and comfortable room with a large front-facing window and plenty of space for everyday living. The ground floor is completed by a downstairs WC and useful under-stairs storage, adding to the practicality of the layout.

The first floor offers three double bedrooms. The main bedroom spans the full length of the house and feels like a private retreat, with a dressing area, fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and a vaulted ceiling that enhances the sense of space. A large window overlooks the rear garden and brings in plenty of natural light. Two further double bedrooms on this floor are served by a Jack and Jill bathroom with a bath, making it ideal for siblings or guests.

On the second floor are two additional double bedrooms, currently used as their children’s rooms. This level provides a sense of independence and separation from the rest of the house, particularly appealing for older children or teenagers. One bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, and there is a further family bathroom on this floor.

Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully arranged to suit both everyday family use and entertaining. There is a patio area for outdoor seating and dining, a purpose-built hot tub space, a shed, and an outdoor kitchen at the rear of the garden with a pizza oven and wood store. The garden offers plenty of space for children to play, while also working well for social occasions and relaxed outdoor living.
