About
Occupying a substantial corner plot with exciting potential for extension (subject to the necessary consents), this impressive detached home has a super location on a tree-lined slip road directly opposite Greenwood Park and has unexpectedly come back to the market.
Stepping inside, the property has a welcoming entrance hall with built-in storage and a smart ground-floor cloakroom, and it gives access to a versatile room to the front of the house which could work equally well as a home office, playroom or even an additional guest bedroom.
To the front of the property, there is a generously proportioned dining room with plenty of natural light thanks to its attractive curved bay window, perfectly framing the views of the park making it a wonderful setting for family meals or entertaining, and there is a further, large, reception room with rooflights and a large window to the front.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is at the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed with granite worktops, a large central island and direct access to the lovely rear garden.
A separate utility room provides additional storage, space for appliances and convenient access to and from the garden.
To the rear, the stunning living room offers an exceptional space for everyday family life.
Dual-aspect windows and double doors create a bright and airy setting throughout the warmer months, while the log-burner brings warmth and character during the winter.
Whether hosting family gatherings, enjoying movie nights or simply unwinding with a morning coffee, this room offers flexibility to adapt to every occasion.
There are four sizeable double bedrooms on the first floor, creating a super layout for family use.
The principal bedroom has extensive fitted wardrobes, a stylish en-suite shower room and peaceful views over the rear garden, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a classic roll-top claw-foot bath and a separate walk-in shower.
Outside, there is an attractive and wonderfully private south-east facing rear garden which enjoys sunshine throughout the day and into the evening, making it ideal for al fresco dining, summer entertaining or simply relaxing outdoors.
A substantial insulated summer house with electricity is currently used as a gym but offers excellent potential as a home office, studio, playroom or garden retreat.
Further benefits include a large garage/workshop with double gates providing access to the road, together with a generous front driveway offering ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles and visiting guests.
The property is ideally located for families, with the highly regarded Killigrew School within walking distance and a selection of well-loved local amenities just moments away, including Simmons Bakery, The Three Hammers pub and Gracey's Pizza.
The open space of Greenwood Park is opposite the house, which has a popular outdoor café, woodland walks, tennis courts and well-equipped children's playground, providing provides the perfect backdrop for family life.
