Thoughtfully arranged for modern family life and maintained to an excellent standard throughout, this is a home that feels every bit as impressive as it looks.
Step inside and the quality of presentation is immediately apparent.
The spacious and welcoming entrance hall, finished with porcelain tiled flooring and benefitting from underfloor heating, sets the tone for the accommodation beyond, with doors leading to the principal ground-floor rooms.
A convenient and well-presented downstairs cloakroom completes this part of the home.
The generously proportioned lounge is a wonderful place to relax, with a bow window to the front and French doors opening directly onto the rear patio.
At the heart of the room is the striking inglenook fireplace with cast-iron log-burning stove, creating an impressive focal point and giving the space a warm and welcoming feel.
Without doubt, one of the highlights of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room – an impressive space that really lends itself to modern family life.
Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the dining and family area offers plenty of room to gather, with French doors opening directly onto the rear patio and garden.
The beautifully appointed kitchen features sleek high-gloss cabinetry complemented by Corian work surfaces, a breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances including a double oven, larder fridge and freezer and dishwasher.
Porcelain tiled flooring and underfloor heating flow throughout, completing this fantastic sociable space.
Adding further versatility to the ground floor, the former garage has been thoughtfully converted to create an additional reception room, offering a flexible space that could be used as a home office, snug, playroom, gym or hobby room depending on the needs of the next owner.
The conversion also incorporates a separate utility room and useful storage area, adding even greater practicality to this already impressive family home.
The property also benefits from a Nest smart heating system, providing convenient control of the home's heating. Upstairs, the sense of space and quality continues.
The generous master bedroom provides an impressive retreat and benefits from its own stylish en-suite shower room, while three further bedrooms all feature fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage for family life.
A modern family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Outside, the property continues to impress, occupying a generous plot with an extensive driveway providing ample off-road parking and an additional garden area to the side.
Gated access leads through to the beautifully maintained and landscaped south-west facing rear garden, where a generous porcelain-tiled patio with coordinating porcelain-clad walls provides a stylish setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Steps lead down to an attractive artificial lawn, creating a low-maintenance garden that offers plenty of space for children to play, while also providing a lovely setting for relaxing and enjoying the afternoon and evening sun.
Beautifully presented, impressively spacious and offering a layout designed with family life in mind, this is a home where the current owners have clearly taken great pride in its presentation and upkeep.
From the show-stopping kitchen and versatile living accommodation to the generous bedrooms and landscaped garden, Portland Grove offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy modern family living in one of Newcastle-under-Lyme's most sought-after residential settings.
