This fantastic family home was originally built in the 1930s and has been renovated and improved by the current owners. Internally the accommodation is immaculately presented throughout, offering plenty of space and a contemporary décor.
The new front door opens into an entrance hall with beautiful oak flooring, which flows into the huge open-plan living/dining room which is over 26 feet in length. It offers plenty of space for a large sofa and dining table with a bay window overlooking the front of the property. Bi-folding doors at the back of the room open out into a conservatory which provides further living space from where you can sit and enjoy the garden with a door leading onto the patio.
The kitchen which is semi-open to the living space is fitted with a range of contemporary handle-less wall and base units with solid surface worktops and a tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, microwave oven, 5 ring gas hob, extractor fan (all AEG), fridge/freezer, wine fridge and a washer/dryer.
There are 3 bedrooms, a family bathroom and additional shower room on the ground floor making it suitable for downsizers looking for single storey living. The master bedroom is a good size double room and benefits from a large bay window and fitted wardrobe. Bedroom 2 is another generous double room with further fitted cupboards and views overlooking the back garden. Bedroom 3 is a large single room. The family bathroom is finished with a trendy combination of wall and floor tiles and includes a modern white suite including bath with shower over and glass screen, basin with integrated hidden cistern WC and vanity storage. The separate shower room is adjacent to bedroom 3 and has a glass corner shower with WC and wall mounted basin.
A spiral staircase in the hallway leads up to the loft room which is currently being used as a 4th bedroom and would also make a fantastic home office space.
The property has mains gas central heating with a combi boiler and double glazed windows throughout.
