Why buy this home?

Marley Fields is popular with families due to its close proximity to a choice of schools, green spaces for children to let off some steam, and fantastic road links. This house will be perfect for someone who likes open plan living and does not want to do any work.

The removal of internal walls downstairs has created open plan living with a seamless flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, which spans across the rear of the property. This type of layout has become increasingly popular over the years because it makes entertaining family and friends enjoyable and easy, and allows parents to keep an eye on children. This area has been decorated to a high standard with neutral colours and Amtico flooring, and has a bow window to the front adding character to a modern home.

Adjacent to the living area is a room that used to be the garage. It is currently being used as a bedroom but would make a brilliant playroom, games room or home office. The previous owners used it as a salon, and it could easily be used for something like this again if needed.

The refitted kitchen is exceptional and has stylish grey high gloss units and wooden worksurfaces which complement each other perfectly. Fitted appliances include a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, double oven, and an induction hob. The addition of a breakfast bar is a great place for quick, informal meals or somewhere children can do their homework. A set of French doors opens out to the rear garden and allows an abundance of natural light into the home.

The rear garden is a real sun trap, isn’t overlooked and has a large, decked area which is great for entertaining. There is a lawn, raised flower beds, a patio area to enjoy the evening sun, and a gate that leads to the front of the property.

Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms and a good-sized single bedroom. The main bedroom is at the front of the house and has a built-in wardrobe with more than enough space for all the furniture you require. The second bedroom easily fits a double bed and also has a fitted wardrobe. The third bedroom would take a double bed but would be better suited as child’s room with a single bed in it.

As with the theme of the rest of the property, the bathroom is finished to a high standard. It is fitted with a traditional style suite consisting of a W/C, a wash hand basin, and a bath with wooden panelling around it. Over the bath is a rainfall shower head, and mosaic themed tiling on the floor creates the perfect mix of contemporary and traditional.
