About
Set within generous private gardens, this substantial detached house has been significantly extended to create an exceptionally spacious family home of approximately 172sqm.
Occupying a generous plot within a well-established residential setting, the property offers flexible accommodation, excellent storage, and a layout well-suited to modern family living.
The accommodation is centred around a welcoming entrance hall and includes an impressive sitting room of excellent proportions, enhanced by a wood-burning stove, large windows, and patio doors overlooking the rear garden, which draw in plentiful natural light.
A separate living room provides further reception space, creating an ideal setting for everyday family life and entertaining.
The dining room offers a useful intermediate space between the principal reception rooms and kitchen, while also lending itself to a variety of alternative uses depending on individual requirements.
The breakfasting kitchen is well-equipped with an extensive range of units and ample space for informal dining, complemented by a separate utility room.
A study provides excellent flexibility, and a contemporary WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a superb en suite bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower enclosure, as well as access into the eaves for storage.
There are three further bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, and a modern shower room, providing comfortable accommodation for larger families and visiting guests.
The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature, offering a high degree of privacy, a generous lawn, mature planting, a pergola-covered seating area, and a timber shed.
The property further benefits from a private driveway, an integral garage, gas central heating, double glazing, and a storage attic.
Beautifully maintained throughout, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile and substantial family home in a highly sought-after setting.
