About
Location Tucked away within the desirable Wellington Gate development, Keeping Place offers the best of village life in Grove – the largest village in the area.
Nature is on your doorstep: a 10-minute stroll takes you to the beautiful Wild Orchid Meadow, home to Grove Fields Park Run, Grove RFC, the old Grove Airfield and Willow Walk Nature Reserve.
Day-to-day essentials are effortless – a pharmacy and dental clinic sit within a quarter of a mile, while Lidl, Waitrose and Sainsbury's are all roughly a mile away by car.
The Property Ground Floor: • Entrance – A sheltered storm porch leads through a part-glazed front door into a bright, welcoming hallway.
A handy storage cupboard keeps coats and boots out of sight, while hardwearing flooring flows throughout the open-plan ground floor. • Open-Plan Kitchen / Diner / Sitting Room – The heart of the home.
French doors open onto the garden, flooding the space with natural light.
• Kitchen – A stylish horseshoe layout with generous storage, built-in appliances, warm oak-effect worktops and sleek handle-less gloss cabinets. Plenty of workspace for the home chef.
• Dining Area – A dedicated space perfectly sized for a family table and chairs, right next to the kitchen.
• Sitting Room – Cleverly zoned to feel like its own room while staying connected to the living space.
Room for sofas and entertainment, with power and broadband points thoughtfully positioned for flexible furniture layouts.
• Downstairs WC – A surprisingly spacious ground-floor loo with hand basin – a genuine bonus in a modern home, especially for busy families.
• Storage – A generous cupboard for vacuum, ironing board and household essentials, plus an airing cupboard housing the unvented mains-pressurised hot water tank.
First Floor: • The landing is filled with natural light from two obscured windows, with an airing cupboard for linens and a loft hatch for additional storage.
• Main Bedroom – A generous front-facing double with ample room for wardrobes, chest of drawers, dressing table and bedside cabinets.
• Bedroom 2 & 3 – Two further bedrooms (front and rear facing), each comfortably fitting a double bed and freestanding furniture. Ideal as children's rooms, a guest room or a home office.
• Large Storage Cupboard – Perfect for laundry, seasonal clothing or extra household storage.
• Family Bathroom – Part-tiled, featuring a deep bath with thermostatic shower and glass screen, close-coupled WC, wide vanity basin, heated ladder towel rail and an obscured window for privacy and ventilation.
Outside: A surprisingly spacious rear garden – fully fenced, mainly laid to lawn, with a generous patio running the full width of the house and a handy garden shed.
At the front, there's space for planting to add your own kerb appeal, plus a driveway for two cars.
