About
The house was built in the 1980s and is set back behind other properties where it benefits from extensive and mainly lawned gardens, ideal for those with children and pets but also offering tremendous scope for the gardening enthusiast.
The very spacious accommodation has been designed to a reverse-level design so that the entrance and main living accommodation is at the upper-floor level.
The porch opens to a hallway featuring attractive glazed doors accessing a very extensive L-shaped and open-plan living/dining/kitchen space, ideal for entertaining, with striking sparkly tiled flooring, a wood burner, and a covered balcony overlooking the rear gardens and offering glimpses of East Hill in the distance.
The kitchen and dining areas include 3 separate windows with views over the gardens. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with matching units and wooden worktops with tiled splashbacks.
Integrated appliances include a double oven and an induction hob, there is space for laundry appliances and there are extensive downlighters.
A fully tiled cloakroom and a double-aspect master bedroom with a spacious en-suite shower room complete the rooms on the upper floor.
Stairs lead down to a large lower ground-floor hall with a generous airing cupboard and a discreetly hidden but very useful and surprisingly large store room.
There are 4 further bedrooms, one of which has its own sun room with a sliding door opening on to the garden.
There is a fully tiled and very well appointed family bathroom with a roll-top bath, and a study/dressing room currently used as an ironing room. The house benefits from uPVC double glazing.

Outside A long driveway leads to a pair of gates beyond which is ample parking and turning space in front of the double garage with an automatic up and over door.
