An exceptionally spacious extended 1950's home situated just a 'stone's throw' from Millfield School and a short walk from the High Street. Offering five generous bedrooms, three reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility/storeroom, three bathrooms, large driveway and manageable family friendly garden.

ACCOMMODATION:
The property is approached principally via the main front entrance which opens into a naturally light reception hall with space and hanging for coats and shoes, stairs rising to the first floor with a storage cupboard beneath and doors opening to ground floor accommodation. The well-proportioned sitting room enjoys a front facing bay window with fitted blinds and an attractive period-style fireplace at its focal point. A spacious kitchen/breakfast room is found at the 'heart' of this home, providing space for informal dining and being a natural gathering point for families and guests. The kitchen comprises a comprehensive range of fitted wall and base units with roll edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel drainer sink with mixer tap. Dual aspect side and rear facing windows allow plenty of natural light in, and integrated appliances include a five-ring gas hob with cooker hood over, dishwasher, half height fridge and eye level oven and grill. An internal door from here opens into the formal dining room which provides a great entertaining space, with sliding double-glazed doors leading out to the rear garden and folding internal doors opening into a cosy second reception room, perfect as an evening retreat or playroom.

The first-floor landing gives access to the second floor by an additional staircase, as well as to four good size bedrooms and the family bathroom. This comprises a suite in white to include flush WC, pedestal wash basin and bath with shower attachment over. Of the four bedrooms, there are three good size doubles and a fourth generous single room. The particularly spacious master bedroom enjoys a front facing bay window, plenty of space for a wide range of full-height wardrobes and its' own stylish fully tiled en-suite shower room, with a contemporary suite including shower cubicle.

On the second floor, a small landing area gives access off to a further spacious double bedroom and cleverly designed shower room serving this floor. Loft access, fitted as a walk-in wardrobe currently, is available from the fifth bedroom.

OUTSIDE:
At the front elevation, a generous amount of off-road parking is provided by the substantial brick paved driveway spanning the entire plot width. This creates a low maintenance yet attractive frontage that is practical for busy families. A large external utility and storeroom is situated within the rear garden, offering useful space away from the living accommodation to place laundry appliances. The garden itself has been landscaped to provide ease of care, yet useable space for the whole family. A large patio spans the rear elevation, and this as well as the deck outside the dining room doors, offers great entertaining space. A level lawn caters for children and pets, and the substantial summerhouse (currently used as a gym) could offer adults a quiet spot for hobbies.
