Description

Ridgewood is a substantial, attractive, detached family home built by Buxton Homes in the late 1990's that offers a light, spacious, well-presented layout that can be arranged to suit individual needs.

The very generous ground floor offers a good balance of reception space to include a delightful dual aspect sitting room with feature fireplace and a formal dining room that opens onto and overlooks the garden to the rear; doors give the option to separate these rooms or open up the space up whenever required. A separate study is situated to the front of the house, ideal for working from home.

The large, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room overlooks and opens onto the garden beyond via sliding glazed doors; this welcoming space is easily zoned, with plenty of space for a dining area and a further seating area, it is perfect for more informal entertaining and day-to-day family life. The smart wall and floor mounted units and worktops provide both good storage and preparation space, together with a range of integrated appliances.

An adjoining utility room has direct access to the garden, and there is also direct access from the kitchen into the integral double garage. A wc completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

The first floor is home to a spacious landing leading to the principal bedroom and en suite shower. The second bedroom provides a bank of fitted wardrobes and a further en suite shower. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Whilst in very good order and having been carefully maintained, Ridgewood still provides a wonderful opportunity for a new family to put their stamp on the house moving forward.

Outside - The house benefits from a well-screened and lovingly established garden to the rear, a paved terrace spans the rear of the house. An attractive brick paved pathway weaving around the lawn, interspersed with trees and shrubs and planting to provide interest and colour.
