-[about your new home]-

This detached home on Harworth Road has more to it than its traditional red-brick frontage initially suggests. Behind it, the accommodation has been considerably extended, giving you three floors of living space and a layout with different places to work, relax, entertain, and spend time together. From the front you overlook only open space, located in a quiet corner of Waterside Village this unique home has lots to offer.

A front lawn keeps the approach to the central located front door open, while the spacious driveway runs alongside the side of the house, offering off-road parking for multiple vehicles, and continues to the detached double garage at the rear. That separation between house and garage is useful in its own right, giving cars, bikes, tools, security, and larger household items somewhere to go without letting them eat into valuable indoor space.

Step through the front door and you arrive in a bright entrance hall rather than straight into one of the living rooms. From here, the ground floor gives you a choice. The front rooms are quieter and more defined, but the further you move through the house, the more open the layout becomes.

To one side is the separate dining room, giving you somewhere to sit around a full dining table away from the everyday activity of the kitchen. This arrangement can work particularly well when you have family visiting or simply want evening meals to have their own setting. Double doors connect this room to the living room so you can open up the space if required. You are not tied to keeping it as a formal dining room either. If most of your meals happen in the extended kitchen, this room could become a second sitting room, children's play room, or something entirely different as your needs change.

Across the hall, the snug already gives you a peaceful space to relax with a book or somewhere for children to play. This space could work well as a home office, meaning you don't have to sacrifice a bedroom or squeeze a desk into the corner of another living space, and once the working day is finished, you can close the door and leave it behind.

A ground-floor WC sits further along the hall, keeping the everyday practicalities covered without guests needing to head upstairs.

The biggest change comes at the rear. Here, the original footprint has been opened and extended to create the part of the house that will likely absorb most of your day-to-day family life. Rather than dividing the kitchen and living area into smaller rooms, you have one broad space stretching across the back of the property and opening directly towards the garden.

The kitchen occupies one side, with long runs of cabinetry that provide plenty of storage and prep space. Its layout keeps whoever is cooking connected to the rest of the room, rather than disappearing into a separate kitchen, while still leaving a clear route through to the larger reception area.

The island helps connect the different parts of the room. Pull up stools, and it becomes a place for breakfast in the morning, homework after school, coffee during the day, or drinks while dinner is being prepared. When friends come over, it gives everyone a natural place to gather without crowding the main cooking area.

Look upwards, and the roof lanterns make an important difference. They bring daylight into the centre of this particularly deep living space, while the wide glazed doors across the rear draw your attention out to the garden. Recessed lighting continues throughout, keeping the different areas bright and usable into the evening.

There is enough room beyond the kitchen to create a proper informal lounge. Sofas and occasional furniture can form an everyday family area here, leaving the other reception rooms free for quieter or more defined uses.

It also changes how you can use the house during the warmer months. Open the rear bi-fold doors, and the garden effectively becomes another part of the entertaining space, whether you are carrying food outside for a barbecue, keeping an eye on children playing on the lawn or simply sitting with the doors open on a summer evening.

That balance is one of the ground floor's most useful features. You have a large social space where everyone can come together, without sacrificing the smaller rooms that let different members of the household do their own thing.

Outside, the garden is predominantly lawn, with established shrubs and planting around the boundaries that add greenery without taking too much away from the usable space. There is room for children and pets, while still leaving you options for outdoor furniture, a barbecue or further planting.

The detached double garage adds another layer of practicality. The driveway leads directly towards it, giving you secure parking or substantial storage away from the main house. For a larger household, you may find storage capacity as valuable as the parking, particularly for bikes, tools, garden equipment, and anything you would rather not have filling cupboards indoors.

Back inside, the first floor features three bedrooms, including one en-suite and the family bathroom.

The bedrooms give you comfortable sleeping spaces with storage and room for the furniture you need day to day, while neutral finishes provide a straightforward base for introducing your own colours and furnishings.

Having both a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room on the same floor should also make busy mornings considerably easier. Instead of everyone waiting for one bathroom, different household members can get ready at the same time.

There is still another floor to discover. Continue upstairs, and the top floor is dedicated to the master bedroom suite, creating a clear separation from the busier family accommodation below.

The bedroom gives you far more freedom than simply finding a place for a bed. There is room for substantial bedroom furniture alongside the built in wardrobes, while the scale of the space allows you to introduce a reading chair creating another quieter corner without making the room feel crowded.

Having this level largely to yourself also changes the way the bedroom feels within the wider house. Younger children can occupy the floor below, teenagers can have their own spaces, and you still have a space removed from the household's main activity when you want to switch off at the end of the day.

The en-suite offers far more than the simple convenience of another bathroom. It gives the principal bedroom its own dedicated bath and shower facilities, so you don't need to head downstairs or share either first-floor bathroom when you are getting ready in the morning or winding down at night. Light, neutral tiling with white double sinks keeps the room bright, while the window brings in natural light and ventilation.
