Description

On a sought-after road in a convenient position for the commuter, this detached family home was built about six years ago and offers beautifully proportioned, light and attractively presented accommodation. The house is set within a spacious plot overlooking the river Wye, which provides a tranquil backdrop to the landscaped gardens. The house has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout with contemporary sash windows, a fitted dressing room and wardrobes and a reserve glass ultra-modern conservatory particular highlights. Further benefits include underfloor heating and a security system with alarm and CCTV.

The substantial living spaces offer a good amount of flexibility, offering as many as four reception rooms in addition to the open plan kitchen and dining room, which is complete with integrated Siemens appliances. At the front of the house there is a living room with an electric fireplace and a home office/study, which could equally be used as a snug. At the rear of the house, the kitchen/dining room is open to a large family room and adjacent conservatory, which can be closed off via a series of bifold doors. In addition there is a utility room with space for laundry machines, a cloakroom with WC and a cupboard under the stairs.

This attractive home is tucked away at the far end of this quiet no-through road, in a peaceful position with open green spaces to the rear. The house is approached over a brick-paved shared driveway with space for a number of cars, and mature hedges and flowerbeds around the borders providing colour and interest. There is access to the rear garden from both sides of the house: a side gate to the left, and on the right a useful single-storey storage area accessed from both the front and back gardens.
