Blackdown Close, Hertfordshire, SG1 6AY

A much improved, deceptively spacious immaculately presented four-bedroom family home enjoying an enviable position tucked away as the penultimate house at the end of this desirable Great Ashby cul-de-sac enjoying a most pleasant, private rear garden backing onto mature woodland enhancing the semi-rural feel to the location.

At the same time the property is conveniently situated just a short walk from the local parade of shops and within the catchment area of the highly regarded Round Diamond Primary School.

The property has been thoughtfully modernised and improved by the current owners whilst the original integral garage has been converted to provide a flexible additional reception room with the further practical benefits of double-glazing, gas-fired central heating and ample off-road parking to the front for several vehicles.

Further highlights of the property include a re-fitted, contemporary, Shaker-style kitchen and a replacement downstairs cloakroom/WC, family bathroom and en-suite shower room.

In full, the accommodation comprises a reception hallway, downstairs cloakroom/WC, a lounge opening through to a spacious dining room which in turn opens through to the re-fitted kitchen creating a contemporary open-plan feel to the ground-floor accommodation.

The inner hallway leads through to the garage conversion currently used as a family room/playroom/utility space whilst the first-floor landing leads to four bedrooms, three of which are excellent-sized double rooms with the master bedroom being served by a re-fitted en-suite shower room and a modern family bathroom.

Viewing highly recommended.
