About
The property occupies a sought-after position, ideally located within easy walking distance of the primary and secondary schools.
To the front, it overlooks a pedestrian footpath leading directly to the picturesque lake, situated less than 100 yards away.
Beautifully presented throughout, the property has been upgraded by the current owners with parquet flooring across the ground floor, premium carpets and shutters to the ground floor windows.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall featuring bespoke understairs storage and stairs rising to the first floor.
The comfortable sitting room is fitted with a contemporary media wall incorporating built-in shelving and LED lighting.
There is also a much-requested home office, together with a ground floor cloakroom. Spanning the full width of the property, the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units incorporating an integrated oven, gas hob with extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
The dining area comfortably accommodates a six to eight-seater table and benefits from French doors opening onto the landscaped rear garden.
The first floor comprises a generous principal bedroom extending the full depth of the house, featuring attractive wall panelling and an en suite shower room with an oversized shower enclosure and half-tiled walls.
There is a further double bedroom to the rear, also enhanced with decorative panelling, together with a fifth bedroom, currently utilised as a second office or children's den, and a family bathroom.
The second floor provides an ideal retreat for older children or guests, comprising two spacious double bedrooms, each with front-facing windows and rear Velux roof lights.
These bedrooms are served by a modern shower room.
Outside Areas and Parking The rear garden has been landscaped, a paved patio extends alongside the garage to a seating area beneath a pergola, providing an ideal setting for entertaining.
The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with a raised flower bed and a row of trees planted along the rear boundary, to help provide privacy.
To the side of the property, a double-length driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the single garage, which benefits from an up-and-over door, power, overhead storage and a personal door giving access to the rear garden.
