About
Set within the desirable residential area of Westgarth Grove, Shotton Colliery, this rare-to-the-market four double bedroom detached self-build home occupies an exceptionally generous plot and offers substantial, beautifully presented accommodation throughout.
Originally constructed on what were two individual plots, the property benefits from expansive wraparound gardens to the front, both sides and rear, creating an impressive sense of space, privacy and flexibility that is seldom found.
Approached via an attractive block paved driveway providing ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, the home immediately makes a striking first impression, complemented by a neatly arranged frontage incorporating low-maintenance astro turf and further lawned areas to the side.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright entrance vestibule featuring solid oak flooring and access to a convenient ground floor W/C.
This in turn leads into a generous central hallway, measuring approximately 12ft, with staircase rising to the first-floor landing and double doors opening into the principal living areas.
The main living room, approximately 14ft in length, is positioned to the front elevation and benefits from a bay window which floods the room with natural light.
This inviting space flows seamlessly through an opening into the dining room, creating an ideal layout for both everyday family living and entertaining.
From the dining room, double doors lead into the stunning sun room, a standout feature of the home.
Surrounded by windows to both side elevations and the rear, this beautifully bright space enjoys views over the garden and connects effortlessly into the impressive kitchen and breakfast area.
The heart of the home is the 22ft Wren-fitted kitchen, thoughtfully designed and installed just four years ago.
It boasts a contemporary range of stylish wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, all finished to a high standard.
Bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, perfect for modern family lifestyles.
A separate utility room provides additional storage and workspace, complete with matching base units, work surfaces and a UPVC door offering further access to the garden.
Completing the ground floor is access to the 17ft garage, which is equipped with an electric roller shutter door, lighting and power supply, along with a side access UPVC door, making it both practical and versatile.
To the first floor, the landing provides access to the loft and leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms.
The master bedroom benefits from a modern three-piece en-suite shower room, finished with contemporary fittings.
Bedroom two is equally well-appointed, offering fitted wardrobes along with the added convenience of a private W/C and basin.
Bedrooms three and four are both generous in size, with bedroom three also featuring fitted wardrobes, while bedroom four includes a useful built-in storage cupboard.
The family bathroom is particularly impressive, offering a luxurious four-piece suite that includes a large triple shower enclosure, a freestanding bath, and twin “his and hers” wash basins, creating a stylish and functional space ideal for family living.
Externally, the rear garden enjoys a highly sought-after south-westerly aspect, allowing for excellent sunlight well into the evening.
The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to include patio seating areas, a well-maintained lawn, a vegetable plot, and a variety of established planting, including plum, apple and pear trees, all bordered by mature shrubs.
Additional practical features include outdoor lighting, water tap and power sockets, enhancing usability of the space year-round.
Overall, this exceptional home combines generous proportions, high-quality modern fittings and a superb outdoor setting, making it an outstanding opportunity for families seeking a spacious, unique and beautifully presented property in a sought-after location.
