Description - This hugely impressive, yet warm and comfortable home, is believed to be one of, if not the largest house in Deer Park Crescent, and certainly occupies one of the road's largest plots. Built in 1958, the house has been a cherished home to our client - only the property's third owner - for the past 36 years, and is now offered to the market with no onward chain.

The house itself is characterised by large, bright, extremely well-proportioned rooms benefitting from plenty of natural light and ample internal storage, which offer versatile living space finished with a distinctive, characterful aesthetic. Externally, the house is complemented by a large, colourful, well-maintained garden set against the backdrop of neighbouring woodland, providing interest and opportunity for keen horticulturalists and active families alike. This is an incredibly practical and well-rounded home, enjoying an excellent degree of privacy and convenience.

Accommodation - The house is accessed into a central reception hallway where there are doors off to all of the principal ground floor rooms, all of which enjoy an attractive outlook over the property's gardens. The sitting room is a large, bright, triple-aspect room centered around a gas fire within a limestone surround, with patio doors leading out to the rear garden. Adjacent is a good-sized room which could serve as a home office/study, hobbies or craft room, or a ground-floor fifth bedroom. Further along, the dedicated dining room has an original serving hatch to the kitchen and flows out to the garden via French doors. The kitchen is equipped with a very good range of cupboards and cabinets with roll-edge worktops incorporating a 2.5-bowl composite sink, 4-ring gas hob and built-in eye-level Hotpoint double oven. Off the kitchen is a utility room with secondary units and spaces for the laundry appliances, plus a large pantry cupboard with full-height sliding doors. Finally, on the ground floor there is a WC and internal access to the integral double garage, which has a range of fitted shelving and cabinets, an inspection pit, power, lighting and water connections, and a side door out to the rear garden.

Stairs rise from the reception hallway to the first-floor landing, beneath which is a sizeable cloaks and boots cupboard leading into a deep under-stair storage space. Off the landing are four extremely good-sized double bedrooms, of which three enjoy the attractive outlook across the rear gardens towards neighbouring woodland. The principal bedroom is complete with two sizeable fitted wardrobes and served by a Jack-and-Jill en-suite bathroom, whilst the guest bedroom is served by a dedicated en-suite bathroom.

Outside - A gated, tarmac drive provides extensive parking and access to the integral double garage. At the front of the house is a landscaped garden planted with a colourful range of azaleas. To the rear is a beautiful, private and enclosed garden arranged into two lawned terraces with planted and raised stone borders, and framed by neighbouring woodland.

Running the full length of the house is a paved sun terrace, to one side of which is a useful tool store and a gardener's WC. Through the WC is a large under-croft storage area running beneath the house's ground floor. Steps lead up from the terrace to two raised timber decks outside the sitting and dining rooms.

Beyond the lawn gardens is an extensive area of re-wilded garden which is no doubt a haven for birds, bees and other local wildlife, and which contains an 8'x6' greenhouse.
