Laurel Close, St Leonards BH24

This fabulous home is close to wonderful walks at Avon Heath Country Park and within a mile of the Castleman Trail, making it perfect for anyone with dogs.

The current owners have enjoyed living here for over 40 years, thoughtfully extending and improving it as they have gone along, creating a fabulous, bright spacious and flexible property. Some of these improvements include a fantastic, self-contained one bedroom annexe, the removal of internal walls to create modern living spaces and landscaping of the extensive grounds so there is year round colour and texture.

The first floor accommodation briefly comprises four double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes/storage, a family bathroom and en-suite shower to the master.

The gardens extend to around 0.2 acres in all, with a sunny south westerly aspect. They have been carefully designed to create year round colour and texture and are a particular feature of this impressive home, extending to all four sides. To the front are gorgeous, easily maintained shrubs and hedging, a productive vegetable patch and gate around to the side and rear gardens. The private rear gardens have many private and peaceful seating areas, two raised decked terraces, a timber summer house with power and light and a quiet, tucked away courtyard which could be used in conjunction with the annexe if needed. They are enclosed by a mixture of fencing, mature trees shrubs and hedging with an area of lawn.

To the front is a block paved driveway that provides plenty of parking & turning. This in turn leads to a set of timber gates and a covered carport with EV charge point. The garage has a remotely operated door, power and light and an internal door to the property.
