The Approach

Occupying a prominent corner position adjoining Raddicombe Drive and Linhay Close, the property is approached via a generous corner driveway, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The home benefits from two points of entry, adding both practicality and flexibility. A side pathway gives access directly to the kitchen/diner and lounge area, ideal for day-to-day use. Alternatively, the main front entrance is set behind a newly fitted composite front door, complemented by an obscured double-glazed side panel. This opens into a useful porch, which enjoys natural light from a large obscured double-glazed side window. From here, an internal door leads through to the main reception room, creating a welcoming and well-defined entrance to the home.

Living Room/Diner

Extending the depth of the property, the living room and dining area form a particularly generous reception space, well suited to both everyday family living and entertaining. The living area is arranged around a central fireplace, currently housing a bioethanol fire, creating an attractive focal point for the room. A double-glazed window to the front aspect provides natural light, while double-glazed French doors to the rear open directly onto the garden. Positioned beside the French doors, the dining area offers ample space for a family-sized table and enjoys a pleasant outlook towards the rear garden. From the main reception space, an internal door leads to a hallway where the staircase rises to the first floor, with useful understairs storage beneath. A further internal door opens into an additional hallway, providing access to the remaining ground floor accommodation.

Utility/Cloakroom

Positioned off the internal hallway, linking the kitchen with the main reception space, is a practical utility room with the added convenience of a cloakroom WC. The room provides valuable additional workspace, with a fitted countertop to one side and a stainless steel sink set beneath an obscured double-glazed rear window. Beneath the work surface, there is space and plumbing for a washing machine, while the Worcester oil-fired boiler is also housed here, serving the property’s heating and hot water system. A low-level WC completes the room, making this a useful and well-placed facility for everyday family living.

Kitchen/Lounge/Diner

The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area creates a stylish and social hub for the home. The kitchen is fitted with navy wall and base units, complemented by composite work surfaces and aquaboard splashbacks. A composite one-and-a-half bowl sink with drainer is positioned beneath a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden. A matching central island provides further preparation space and includes an overhanging breakfast bar, creating an informal seating area. The island also incorporates an integrated under-counter fridge and freezer. Further integrated appliances include an eye-level double oven and an inset Neff induction hob with extractor above, while a tall pull-out pantry is neatly built into the cabinetry for additional storage. To the front of the room, the lounge area offers a relaxed sitting space, with double-glazed windows to both the front and side aspects. A double-glazed side door provides convenient secondary entrance to the property.

Office

The property further benefits from a versatile second reception room, currently arranged as a home office and play room. Generous in size, the room offers excellent flexibility and can be adapted to suit a variety of needs, whether as a dedicated study, children’s playroom, hobby space or additional sitting room. A double-glazed window to the front aspect provides natural light, while the proportions of the room also lend themselves well to being used as a fifth bedroom or guest room, if required.

Bedroom & Bathroom Suites

The first floor is approached via a spacious landing. This level offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying plenty of levels of natural light, with countryside views and distant sea glimpses. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and own private en-suite bathroom. The en-suite is arranged with a bath and electric shower over, complemented by a separate handheld shower attachment and tiled wall surround. A double vanity unit provides twin wash basins with storage beneath, while the room also includes a low-level WC, wall-mounted heated towel rail, obscured double-glazed window and a built-in airing cupboard. Serving the remaining bedrooms is a modern three-piece shower room, fitted with a shower cubicle and mains-fed shower, together with a vanity unit incorporating a wash basin and concealed cistern WC. Useful drawer and cupboard storage is built beneath, while an obscured double-glazed window and wall-mounted heated towel rail complete the room.

A Garden To Enjoy

The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property, offering a well-arranged space designed for relaxation and ease of maintenance. A generous lawn provides a pleasant open area, complemented by a section of artificial grass, beneath which there is attractive stonework flooring. The garden has been thoughtfully arranged to create a variety of usable areas, including outdoor seating, dining and entertaining. Raised planting borders, established greenery and decorative stonework add character. The covered seating area provides a sheltered spot to enjoy the garden throughout much of the year. Further practical features include a garden shed, outside electrics, a hot and cold external water supply, and a water fountain with LED lighting, enhancing both convenience and ambience. Enclosed by established boundaries, the garden offers a private and inviting setting, ideal for family use, summer entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
