A Substantial Detached Family Home with Stunning South-Facing Garden Backing onto Andrews Park

Set at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in this highly desirable residential area, this rarely available detached family home offers spacious and versatile accommodation ideal for modern family living. The home occupies a generous plot of just under a fifth of an acre with a meticulously landscaped south-facing rear garden extending to approximately 120ft, directly backing onto the green spaces of Andrews Park. On the ground floor, the property opens via a storm porch into a welcoming entrance hall with a downstairs WC. The large dining room connects seamlessly to a bright and airy conservatory, providing the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing with views over the garden. A well-proportioned sitting room features a wide bay window, filling the room with natural light and offering further access to the garden. The kitchen is a practical space fitted with fitted units, generous work surfaces, and direct access to the side of the property. A lean-to offers additional storage or potential utility space, while the integral double garage provides ample parking and workshop potential. Upstairs, the first floor hosts four well-sized bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. A contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, all of which enjoy elevated views of the surrounding area. Externally, the front of the property is set behind a generous gravelled driveway offering ample off-street parking. The rear garden is a real highlight—fully enclosed, south-facing, and beautifully maintained with mature borders, a lawned area, and backing on to Andrews Park, making it an exceptional space for children, pets, and outdoor entertaining. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a prime position, combining privacy, generous living space and wonderful outdoor space.
