A beautifully presented detached family home offering spacious and versatile accommodation, a recently refitted kitchen, double garage and attractive field views to the front.
Constructed in 1976, this impressive, detached residence occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.16 acres and provides 154.1 sqm (1,659 sqft) of well-appointed accommodation, presented in exceptional decorative order throughout. Ideally suited to family living, the property combines generous reception space with four well-proportioned bedrooms, a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities and a substantial double garage.
The ground floor is approached via a spacious entrance hall, which benefits from an adjoining cloakroom WC with a useful built-in cupboard providing convenient storage for coats and shoes. The principal reception space comprises three versatile rooms, including an impressive 22ft double-aspect lounge, a separate formal dining room and a dedicated study, offering flexibility for both entertaining and home working.
The refitted kitchen is finished in an attractive Shaker style, complemented by a feature glass splashback above the hob. A large serving hatch creates an open connection with the adjoining formal dining room, making the space particularly well suited to family gatherings and entertaining. Leading from the kitchen is a generously proportioned utility area, which provides additional practical space and access to the adjoining double garage.
To the first floor, the accommodation continues with four bedrooms. The sizeable principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room, while bedrooms two and three also feature built-in wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation, fitted with white sanitary ware and a p-shaped bath with shower over.
Externally, the property enjoys an enclosed rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by established herbaceous borders, creating an attractive setting for outdoor relaxation and family enjoyment. The front and side gardens are also mainly laid to lawn, with a small hedgerow providing definition to the plot. A gravelled driveway offers ample off-road parking and leads directly to the generous double garage.
