4 bedroom detached house for sale

Why buy this home?

Offering ample downstairs space and the potential to extend in future, this home is ideal for those looking to move to a village with a great local facilities and transport links.

Appleacres is a block-paved private road of just 8 houses, with this home being at the bottom meaning there is no through traffic. There is side-by-side parking for two cars on the driveway in front of the house as well as a detached double garage. The central external pillar is purely cosmetic meaning it can be removed should you wish to make vehicular access to the garage even easier. The garage roof extends to the house creating a covered area which not only means you are protected from the rain when accessing your car, it also makes the perfect home for a log store.

As you enter the home you step into a useful porch so you can remove coats and shoes before entering into the generous hallway. Immediately to the left is the separate study and the otherside of the staircase is a tastefully decorated WC. If you turn right you enter the living room. This room is a great width and offers a sociable layout. A log burner is an essential feature in any village home, and this home is no exception.

Doors lead through to the dining room which can host the grandest of dinner parties due to the room extending out further than the rest of the original house. Bi-fold doors have been fitted so this room can be opened up to a patio area of the garden in the summer, whilst a pergola ensures a break from the sun as the garden is predominately south-facing. The patio runs the width of the house and around the side providing side access to the utility room, a side gate to the front and also to the side door to the double garage. The rest of the garden is easy to maintain being laid to lawn with borders - please note that the red structure you can see in the photo is temporary and should be being removed imminently.

Back inside, the kitchen can be accessed via the hallway and dining room. Refitted by the owners to provide a modern, sleek feel, the white high gloss units are offset against brown worktops. As there are units on all four walls of the kitchen, there is ample storage and worktop space for appliances alongside the integrated appliances which include an eye-level double oven and dishwasher. There is also space for an American style fridge/freezer. The owners also created a small extension as a continuation of the dining room which has created a breakfast area with a vaulted ceiling and skylights. Lastly there is a utility room with further worktop space, a sink, the boiler and space for a washing machine.

Upstairs the galleried landing has cast iron stair spindles. The master bedroom is at the rear of the house and can host a generous bed due to the dressing room that you pass through to get to the ensuite. The ensuite is fully tiled and is very bright due to the direction of the house and the window. The second bedroom is a good size and has a double built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors. The third and fourth bedrooms are similar sizes and could fit double beds should you wish, but make wonderful children's bedrooms. These bedroom are served by the large bathroom which, like the ensuite, is also fully tiled. There is an electric shower over the bath but this room could easily be refigured to fit a standalone shower cubicle should the need arise.
