If you have been considering downsizing but have been waiting for the right home to come on to the market, then this could be the one for you. Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac of just five homes and approximately a 12-minute walk to the town centre, it is ideal for someone who wants a modern house that they can just move into and enjoy without being on a new development. For anyone who has younger family members or dogs, the proximity to Pages Park is sure to be a big selling point.
A spacious entrance hall is decorated in neutral colours and has tiled flooring which flows into the W/C, giving a wonderful first impression of the home.
Accessing the living area through a set of double doors, the first thing you will notice is how bright the room is as sunlight flows through the bay window at the front of the home. The current owner has their TV is on the wall and there is a three-seater sofa in front of it with additional space for an armchair. A set of double doors provides separation from the kitchen/breakfast room for cosy evenings but could be opened if hosting a gathering so everyone can be together.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a great space for entertaining. There is enough room for additional sofa seating, and the breakfast bar not only provides a space for informal meals it is a great area for serving food and drinks. The kitchen is well stocked with high gloss units including pan drawers that maximise storage. Black marble effect work surfaces and subway tiles complement the units perfectly and there is a fitted dishwasher, a fridge/freezer, an oven and grill, and a gas hob with an extractor hood above it.
What was once the garage has been converted to create a separate dining room. There is more than enough room for a six-seater table and is the obvious place to enjoy a meal together with friends and family. There is a set of French doors that leads out to the rear garden and there is access to the utility room.
The utility room has fitted storage - great for hiding away your cleaning products, and there is space for a washing machine and an additional fridge. There is a door that leads to the front of the property which is especially useful for homes with children and pets, as it prevents muddy shoes or paws being traipsed through the house.
Undoubtedly, the garden room is a huge selling feature of this home. It has had a tiled roof installed allowing it to be used all year round and it is where the current owners spend most of their time. During the summer it is a lovely space to relax and gaze out at the garden, and during the colder months it is somewhere you can hideaway under a blanket and catch up with your favourite TV programmes or simply read a book.
The south facing garden is low maintenance, with paving slabs and gravelled areas making it the perfect place to simply enjoy the sunshine. For those who still want to add colour to the garden, there is more than enough space for pots and planters, and for those that need an area for younger family members to let off steam, Pages Park is only a short walk away. At the end of the garden, you will find a gate that leads to a decked area that offers complete privacy to relax with friends late into the evening.
Upstairs the property has three good size bedrooms and a beautiful family bathroom. The main bedroom comes complete with fitted furniture and is serviced by a re-fitted en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is a lovely size and is currently being used as a guest room with a sofa bed. The third bedroom is being used as an office and has an in-built cupboard. If you have younger children, then this room is a comfortable single bedroom or would make a wonderful nursery.
The family bathroom is beautifully presented and has a bathtub and plenty of fitted storage.
Just when you think this home couldn’t give anymore, you climb up into the loft. It has been partially converted and is being used by the current owner as a music room/study/art studio. The Velux windows flood it with plenty of natural light and as it is insulated it can be used all year round for whatever suits the new owner.
At the front of the property there is driveway parking with space nearby for guests to park when they visit.
