PROPERTY
This wonderful family home has been extended and renovated by the current owners and offers particularly generous accommodation over 3 floors. The house was originally built in the 1950s and is tastefully finished to a high specification with a bright and airy feel thanks to its south facing orientation. The front door opens into an entrance hall with plenty of space for coats and shoes and modern Karndean flooring. To the left-hand side is a spacious reception room and on the right hand side a door leads into the integral garage, which provides plenty of storage space and is big enough for even the largest of vehicles. At the rear of the house overlooking the garden is a huge sitting room with carpeted flooring and bi-folding doors that can be opened up to incorporate the garden into everyday life.

The fantastic kitchen / dining room has been designed for modern family living. There are vaulted ceilings with a skylight window and another set of bi-folding doors that lead out onto the patio. The kitchen itself has a range of sleek wall and base units with quartz worktops and matching upstand. A breakfast bar provides an informal place to sit and eat with plenty of space for a dining table. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, 5 ring gas hob, extractor fan, electric oven, microwave oven and fridge/freezer. A handy utility room provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a downstairs shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to three large double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom features a modern white suite including a bath with shower over. Bedrooms 2 and 3 benefit from stylish ensuite shower rooms and bedroom 4 is another big double room that looks out over the garden.

A further staircase leads up to the second floor where the enormous master bedroom suite is located. The bedroom is big enough for a seating area with three sets of south facing windows offering far reaching views. There is a large dressing room on one side and a luxurious en-suite bathroom on the other side which features a freestanding bath, 'his and hers' sinks with vanity storage, WC and walk-in shower with curved wall finished with Venetian polished plaster.

The back garden is south facing and fully enclosed with a mixture of brick walls and timber fencing.

A good sized area of flat lawn offers plenty of space for children to play with a variety of herbaceous shrubs and flowering plants including a crab apple tree to the borders.
