Description

This is a striking detached house which has been significantly renovated and enhanced, and now provides flexible and practical accommodation arranged over two floors, which is ideally configured for family living. The centrepiece is the impressive open plan kitchen/dining room. The custom kitchen has a granite island, quality appliances and, with two sets of doors opening to the garden, it is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a welcoming sitting room with attractive fireplace and custom built fireside cabinets and bookshelves.

On the first floor are four good bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, and one with a balcony overlooking the garden. The striking family bathroom is particularly smart, with whirlpool bath and mood lighting, separate dual head shower, and porcelain tiling, and there is a separate shower room.

Outside, electric remote front gates open to the paved driveway providing parking, and the front garden is laid neatly to lawn with plant and shrub borders, and a fabulous Wisteria. The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature. A raised timber decking area, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, leads to the garden, with two lawned sections and a partly rear wooded section. The carefully laid out and well tended landscaped garden has a variety of trees, plants, and shrubs, and a children's play area and play frame at the rear. For fitness enthusiasts, the garage has been converted to a gym, with insulated flooring and insulation behind external wall mirrors, ceiling and front doors. Planning permission has also been sought for a further ground floor extension to the rear. Further detailed list of specification of the house available on request.
