About
Does your family need more space in home you can move into now and update over time?
This chain free house features open plan lounge/dining, an extended kitchen with separate utility room, a beautiful garden and all within walking distance of Clockhouse Primary School.
Step through the front door and you immediately get a sense of how well this house flows.
The living room sits at the front with a wide window that pulls in plenty of natural light, and there’s space for two proper sofas without it feeling cramped.
The open fireplace is a real feature too, and it’s the kind of room that feels warm and cosy when the weather turns.
From here, the space opens through to the dining area, so it feels incredibly connected.
If you like hosting, you can comfortably fit a good sized dining table and still have room to move, which makes it ideal for family dinners and having friends over.
The extension to the rear is where you’ll find the kitchen and a separate utility room. The kitchen offers lots of worktop space for food prep and you can cook while looking out over the garden.
The utility room keeps laundry and appliances out of the main kitchen, adds extra storage and also gives you access to the garden.
Upstairs, there are two strong double bedrooms and a third single bedroom that works well as a child’s room, home office, or nursery. The family bathroom is well kept, with a bath and shower over.
Outside, the garden starts with a raised deck that’s perfect for outdoor dining furniture and a BBQ. Beyond that there’s a lawn, plus a timber shed at the far end for bikes and storage.
To the front, you have off street parking. The location of this house is a big part of the appeal.
