About
A highly attractive double-fronted, substantial detached family home located on the highly sought-after Gurney Court Road, benefiting from a superb 150 ft west-facing rear garden with modern home office/cabin and offered with no onward chain.
The property offers superb potential for extension and re-configuration (subject to planning permission/consent).
A covered front door opens into a welcoming hallway with original style wood parquet flooring, stairs to the first floor and access to a cloakroom/WC.
The generous lounge, also featuring parquet flooring and a fireplace, opens through to a dining area with bi-folding doors leading out to the rear garden, creating an ideal space for entertaining.
The dining area connects to an attractive kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of light coloured wall and base units, granite worktops and integrated appliances, along with a breakfast bar.
A door leads to a useful utility room with additional storage, which in turn provides access to a versatile playroom/gym and the integral garage/store.
The ground floor also benefits from a separate family room with parquet flooring, tiled fireplace and bay window to the front.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room.
There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and a family bathroom with bath, shower, basin and WC.
To the front, mature hedging provides privacy and a shingle driveway offers off-street parking for several vehicles leading to the garage.
The impressive 150 ft west-facing rear garden features a full-width patio, extensive lawn with mature planting, a storage shed and a superb garden home office with power and light.
