Description

The Acorns was constructed in 1972 but has recently been significantly upgraded by the vendor. Today the house is modern, beautifully appointed and presented, after a full programme of renovations including replastering and cosmetic decoration, updated flooring, opening up the kitchen to create an open plan living space and improving the summerhouse. The house is the ideal size for families and has a well-planned layout that's great for entertaining as well as meeting the demands of busy family life. Externally there is ample parking on a gated driveway and a generously proportioned garden which has been recently landscaped.

The house is attractively presented throughout in a cool, contemporary style with modern design elements throughout: hardwearing LVT flooring has been installed throughout the ground floor, the kitchen features fashionable vertical radiators and a stylish Leicht kitchen and the bathrooms are contemporary with good storage. A welcoming first impression is provided by the large and light entrance hall, which opens to a formal sitting room at the front of the house with a bay window and fireplace. To the rear there is the open plan kitchen and dining room, which enjoys excellent natural light with its Velux windows and half glazed walls around the dining area. A utility room provides space for laundry machines and there's a cloakroom with WC. Situated behind the integral garage, a fully-fitted study which makes the perfect distraction-free home office. Upstairs the principal bedroom is situated separately to the rest of the bedrooms and has an en suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe (currently used as a second home office), while the remaining bedrooms share a family bath and shower room.

The house is set back from the road behind a gated entrance and a large, paved carriageway driveway leading up to a three-bay integral garage. The gardens to the front and rear are mostly lawned and beautifully landscaped with mature trees, shrubs, box topiary and a variety of roses. The rear garden is arranged over two levels and has terraces for outdoor dining, a vegetable garden, greenhouse and a summerhouse currently used as a gym.
