The Property

Rose Lynn is an attractive four bedroom semi-detached house occupying a generous plot in a quiet cul-de-sac location, yet within striking distance of amenities. There is an abundance of parking to the front of the property and a large garden to the rear with two outbuildings that are ripe for development, subject to any necessary consents. This property offers a great deal of potential for interested parties.

The front door opens into a neat entrance porch with access to a downstairs WC/cloakroom. The porch leads through into a delightful spacious kitchen with an excellent range of white modern floor and wall units, wooden worktops, range cooker, integrated microwave, breakfast bar and space for a large American style fridge/freezer. There are some lovely period style touches such as the Belfast sink and brick tiling. The kitchen is open to the dining room, which continues the period style with a wonderful large brick and timber fireplace with multi fuel stove and wooden flooring runs throughout both rooms. There is ample space in the dining room for a large table to seat at least eight diners. Glazed double doors lead into a garden room with direct access out into the garden. This makes a great snug or TV room and is ideal for entertaining and playing, especially in the summer when the doors can be open from the garden and into the dining room, creating a wonderful flow through the house and really bringing the outside in.

The light and airy sitting room runs the full length of the house, from a bay window at the front to French doors into the garden at the rear. This is a stunning room with a similarly impressive fireplace and stove to the dining room and wood paneling around the fireplace and the bay window, creating an elegant, period look. Wooden flooring matching the kitchen and dining room also runs throughout the sitting room.

The ground floor blends modern convenience with period style very well and the stylish décor continues on the first floor with a relaxing neutral colour palatte and smart, contemporary bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, en-suite shower room and plenty of floor space. There is a guest bedroom, also with fitted wardrobes including overbed storage and an en-suite shower room. The two further bedrooms are both a good size and have fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is particularly large and luxurious with a modern curved bath tub and separate corner shower cubicle with double doors. This room also benefits from two windows, so it is incredibly light and a very pleasant place to relax in the bubbles. Rose Lynn also benefits from useful loft space which is accessed via a loft ladder. The loft is boarded out and carpeted, and features a radiator, lighting, window and Velux window. This is excellent additional space.

Externally

The gated paved driveway offers parking for several vehicles and a path to the side of the house allows direct access to the rear garden. There is a patio immediately to the rear of the house, providing easy access from the reception rooms and kitchen for al fresco dining, entertaining and barbequing. A second patio area on the lawn could be the ideal place for a hot tub. The remainder of the rear garden is lawned, leading in an L-shape to the two large outbuildings, which currently require some modernisation work and offer an excellent opportunity for workshop space, home office or gym, cinema room or annexe accommodation. The rear garden is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, and feels very private.
