Period five bedroom family home with mature garden Description Magnolia is a well presented period five bedroom detached family home with a screened, mature garden and driveway parking.

Set in a semi rural location, it is offered to the market chain free. The entrance hall is a lovely introduction to the house, with original wood floor and internal doors with leaded light windows.

On the right hand side of the hall is the family room with attractive curved bay window overlooking the driveway.

On the other side of the hall is the double aspect sitting room, also including a curved bay window, and door to the rear garden. The extended open-plan kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home.

Positioned at the rear, overlooking the garden, it has a range of appliances, including a stainless steel range cooker recessed with a mosaic tile splash back, black granite work surfaces, wooden units and large central island/breakfast bar.

There is also space for a dishwasher and large American style fridge/freezer.

The dining area provides ample room for a dining table and seating, and a glazed semi-pitched roof links the original structure to the new, creating a light and airy feel.

Of particular note is the unusual feature of an internal Juliet balcony which adds character to the room.

A door from the kitchen leads into the former garage, now converted to provide a generous utility room and useful storage area - ideal for bikes and household essentials.

A cloakroom and a useful storage cupboard completes the ground floor accommodation.

Leading from the hallway, turning at the corner to reveal the original wood-spindled balustrade and handrail, the first floor landing features a large window overlooking the garden, providing an abundance of natural light.

The principal bedroom features a double aspect, en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes.

There are four further bedrooms (one with Juliet balcony and full wall of floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes, and one which is currently being used as a study).

There is also a family bathroom which includes a bath and a shower, and twin sinks. The accommodation also has a generous loft space.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a shed and a patio, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

It is screened with mature trees and hedging which provide a good degree of privacy. At the front, is a lawn and driveway providing parking for multiple cars.
