From the moment to arrive at this cracker of a property you are drawn in by its splendid 'kerb appeal'.

Sit yourself down with a nice cuppa or glass of something a little stronger and go through the images, look at the floorplan, read the following description and I am sure you will be reaching for your phone to organise a viewing.

The front of the property has a large block paved drive that can hold multiple vehicles and you can tell straight away that the current owners have taken superb care of this family home by the way the front of the property and indeed the front garden look.

Inside you will find a lovely hallway with plenty of space for coats and shoes etc. The current owners also have occasional furniture here as well which works extremely well.

There is an exceptionally large lounge diner (almost 29 sq m or 300 sq ft). Which, as with the rest of this property is decorated to the highest standard.

To give you some idea of the size, there are two sofas and a large 6 seater dining table and chair set and there is still plenty of space left. The kitchen is to die for!

From its full size 4 compartment oven and multi hob top to its superb island / breakfast bar, from its integrated white goods to tis plethora of cupboard & drawer space, to its abundance of work surfaces to the stunning view of the rear garden from the window above the sink, this kitchen has everything anyone could possibly need, doesn't it?

The kitchen has its own door that leads into the garden and this can also be accessed for the dining area by double patio doors. The rear garden is a sheer delight.

A large decked area that is perfect for family BBQ's and al fresco dining leads onto a large lovely lawn surrounded by established beds containing beautiful flowers, shrubs, climbers and bushes.

At the bottom of the garden there is a secluded seating area for when you want to get away from it all and a well concealed garden shed .

However, it is the superb summer house / home office that steals the show for me! With full electrics and internet connectivity this is a fantastic addition to this already glorious property.

It could be left just as it is or indeed it could be reconfigured into a gym or art studio, a man or ladies cave or a teenagers den! The choices are endless.

Finishing off the ground floor as a lovely large cloakroom with WC & hand basin, and again it is superbly finished. Upstairs we found three double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The bathroom has a large corner bathtub with overhead electric shower. There is a WC & wash basin and a heated towel rail. All three bedrooms are doubles. Two being large, and one medium.

Again they are all finished to an extremely high standard and two of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes.

At 1,500 sq ft, this large family home has been a happy place for the current owners but now it is time for them to move to pastures new and make happy memories elsewhere.

This of course means that new owners are going to be given the opportunity to make the same happy memories for themselves. There is no doubt that this is a fabulous property in every way.
