The Lees, Shirley CR0

This truly impressive double-fronted family home, in superb decorative order and extremely cleverly extended, will surely impress even the most discerning of purchasers. The delightful interior offers really versatile and bright accommodation, offering great spaces for entertaining family and friends and for everyday family life. The peaceful dining room is located at the front of the home, and the impressive 16' lounge has double doors onto the truly outstanding double-glazed conservatory. Adding to the appeal of this home is the versatile 18’7 room, which could be used as a fourth bedroom, additional reception room, guest room, or a great ‘working from home’ solution. The kitchen/breakfast room here is of a high quality and is the hub of the home, featuring granite work surfaces and built-in appliances. A delightful garden can be found at the rear, complete with a timber cabin, and you’ll find stunning outlooks across ‘Millers Pond’.

Three generously proportioned genuine double bedrooms, all featuring built-in wardrobes, can be found up on the first floor alongside the luxurious family bathroom, and there is an added advantage of a loft room that makes a great study and benefits from ample storage space. Offering ample space for a large family to live very comfortably indeed, this property also includes a garage converted into a gym, good quality floor coverings throughout, character features including cast iron fireplaces, and a handy ground-floor WC. Rarely do homes of this calibre come onto the market; therefore, a viewing comes highly recommended.

Gower Houses
This style of house is known locally as the a ‘Gower’ built semi. Held in regard due to the quality of build, this is a fine example of the 1930's architecture and construction, particularly impressive of this design is the size of the reception rooms and genuine double bedrooms. The extensions carried out here have added to this enviable architectural success.

Further Extension Potential
Whilst the property already benefits from extended, comprehensive accommodation, there is scope for further additions to the rear of the property if even more living space is required. The loft space could be converted further to provide an official fouth bedroom and shower room, and there is also potential to create a ‘granny annex’ style set up on the ground floor. Obviously any improvement of this nature will require the relevant local authority consents.
