OWNER'S INSIGHT

"I have been very happy living here over many years, but the time has come to downsize as I no longer have the need for four bedrooms and three bathrooms. I will certainly miss the parking, which has given me space for the motor home and two cars on the drive, as well as garage space with storage. The garden has areas of shade and sun throughout the day so you can find a nice spot to relax. I am fortunate to have great neighbours, and the location is perfect for local shops, schools, beautiful walks, or swift access out of the bay."

STEP INSIDE

The double glazed porch with tiled floor leads through to the reception hall with under stairs storage and personal door to the garage. The SITTING ROOM enjoys a picture window to the front, and electric fire with surround with mantle. Double doors connect the KITCHEN DINING ROOM which spans the full width of the property with picture windows and central door overlooking and opening to the rear garden. A breakfast bar provides a subtle division to the KITCHEN with beech effect units, brushed steel handles, roll edge work tops and one and a half bowl sink. Provision for American style fridge freezer, dishwasher, and cooker with fitted glass canopy extractor hood.

STEP UPSTAIRS

From the reception hall the staircase with carved newel post and spindles rises to the FIRST FLOOR LANDING with cupboard, and loft access with retractable ladder. Four bedrooms lead off the landing, with BEDROOM 1 enjoying a picture window to the front over the surrounding area toward the Marldon hills, and an EN SUITE BATHROOM with obscure glazed window, airing cupboard with radiator and slat shelving. BEDROOM 2 enjoys a similar outlook to the principal bedroom with an additional side window, and EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM with natural light. BEDROOMS 3 & 4 both enjoy outlooks over the tiered rear garden. The FAMILY BATHROOM has a bath with twin hand grips and mains pressure shower over, WC, basin, tiling to the walls and floor, and obscure window.

STEP OUTSIDE

To the font approach is generous BLOCK PAVIOUR DRIVE providing ample parking for three cars. INTEGRAL GARAGE with up and over door, window to the side, power and lighting. Provision for additional white goods and Glow-Worm gas boiler. The rear garden benefits from a sheltered TERRACE running the full width of the house directly outside the kitchen/dining room. Stepped approach to the central lawned tier, and top tiers decked for ease of maintenance. A pedestrian gate is positioned to the back boundary which would provide swift access to the approach to Brunel Woodland, perfect for a dog owner.
