Description
Spanning approximately 1,549 sq ft of modernised living accommodation arranged over three floors, this substantial five bedroom home offers a fantastic combination of space, flexibility and versatility. With generous reception accommodation, two bathrooms, a beautifully landscaped south facing rear garden and a particularly useful lower ground floor with its own external access, this is a home capable of adapting to a variety of family requirements.
The property is accessed via the main entrance into a welcoming entrance hallway, providing access to the living room, dining room, stairs rising to the first floor and further stairs descending to the lower ground floor.
The living room is a comfortable and characterful reception space, benefiting from a large bay fronted window overlooking the front aspect, original coving and attractive acoustic panelling either side of the chimney breast. The room flows naturally through to the dining area, creating an open and sociable space ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining.
The dining area benefits from a number of newly fitted UPVC windows overlooking the rear garden and forms part of an L shaped arrangement with the kitchen. The dining room can also be accessed directly from the entrance hallway, providing useful flexibility to the layout.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces, a chrome sink and drainer, integrated oven, hob and extractor. There is a good provision of power points for modern appliances together with plumbing for a dishwasher. Its open relationship with the dining area creates a practical and sociable hub at the heart of the home.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, the family bathroom and useful additional storage. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and enjoys a large bay window, mirroring the bay below. The room is generously proportioned and provides ample space for a substantial range of bedroom furniture, with attractive panelling around the bay and decorative coving adding further character.
Bedroom three is a well proportioned double bedroom positioned to the rear, with a UPVC window overlooking the garden and ample space for a double bed and additional furniture.
Bedroom five is currently utilised as a home office but offers excellent flexibility as a nursery, child's bedroom or occasional bedroom. The rear aspect window benefits from the property's south facing orientation, allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
The family bathroom is fitted with a three piece suite comprising WC, vanity wash hand basin and bath, with contemporary Aqua panelling providing a modern finish. The newly fitted combination boiler is also located within the bathroom. The first floor landing provides access to the loft and an airing cupboard, offering useful additional storage.
The lower ground floor is where the property's versatility really comes into its own. Providing two further rooms, a shower room, access to the rear garden and its own external entrance, this level offers considerable flexibility for modern family living.
Bedroom two enjoys the property's front facing bay aspect and is currently being used as a games room, although it could equally be utilised as a further bedroom depending on the requirements of the incoming owner. Bedroom four is another well proportioned room, providing useful additional bedroom accommodation and further enhancing the property's suitability for a larger family.
A separate shower room completes this floor and comprises a shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.
The lower ground floor can be accessed independently via external steps and its own entrance, while also having direct access to the rear garden. This creates the potential for a greater degree of independence within the home and could be particularly useful for older children, extended family members, guests or those requiring their own separate space. Alternatively, the rooms could simply provide valuable additional recreational, working or sleeping accommodation.
The south facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and provides an attractive outdoor extension of the home. Immediately outside the lower ground floor entrance is a patio area with attractive wooden panelling, creating a defined space for outdoor seating and entertaining.
A pathway then leads towards the bottom of the garden, with areas of lawn to either side, before reaching a further seating area at the far end. This secluded section provides a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the garden, while the overall arrangement offers a good balance of entertaining space, lawn and privacy.
Situated on Old Laira Road within the PL3 postcode, the property is conveniently positioned for access to Plymouth city centre and Mutley Plain, while the nearby A38 provides excellent connections for commuters travelling further afield. A range of local primary and secondary schools are also accessible within the surrounding area, alongside the amenities and facilities available throughout Plymouth.
Combining substantial accommodation with a highly flexible layout and a convenient city location, this is an excellent opportunity for families seeking space, versatility and a home capable of adapting to their changing needs.
