Why buy this home?

The words ‘Tardis’ and ‘deceptively spacious’ are used all too often when describing a home, but they are definitely fitting when describing this substantial property. It offers a wealth of flexible accommodation measuring nearly 1650sqft (minus the garage), which can be arranged in a variety of ways to suit your requirements. Currently a five double bedroom home, two are on the ground floor, meaning it is perfect for someone who requires ground floor sleeping
accommodation or even a growing teenager who wants their own space. However, if you did not need five bedrooms, the two bedrooms on the ground floor could be used as fantastic size additional reception rooms.

Solid wood parquet flooring flows from the entrance hall into the lounge, which has an abundance of natural light flowing in from dual aspect windows, including a large bay window to the front. It is warm and inviting and the perfect place to wind down in front of the TV after a long day.

The inner hall has the stairs leading to the first floor and the entrance to bedroom four. This area is a fantastic space and could be utilised as an office or a craft area.

Bedroom four is the first on the ground floor and is an excellent size. It currently has a double bed, but you could comfortably fit in a king-size plus all the other furniture you require. If you wanted a separate dining room for those more formal events, then this would be an ideal room. As with the lounge, it too has a large bay window allowing light to illuminate the room.

At the rear of the home is the large sociable kitchen/diner, measuring an impressive 18ft in width. This room is a real selling feature of the home and although perfectly functional as it is, it has the potential to be something incredibly special. There is a range of wall and base units, space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine, with ample worktop space for preparing meals. But the focal point is
undoubtedly the island with its stonework surface. The dining area is large enough to easily have an eight- seater table if required, perfect for entertaining friends or family. A door leads from the kitchen to the sunroom which has power and light, it currently houses a tumble dryer and an additional large freezer, with a separate seating area. It also provides the perfect place to take off shoes and coats if you have been
for a walk in wet weather, or children are muddy from playing in the garden or at the nearby parks, without the need to enter the house. But would equally work as a sunny seating area or breakfast room.

The fifth bedroom, on the ground floor, offers yet more flexibility to the new owner. If not required as a bedroom, it would make a great family room, a separate dining room or simply another lounge should there be a clash of TV programmes! If needed as a bedroom, it is an enviable size, fitting all the furniture you require and still having space for a desk without feeling cramped.

The downstairs accommodation is completed by a W/C with parquet flooring. With some alterations, a shower could be added here, making the downstairs suitable for someone with mobility issues.

Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms and the main bathroom, all accessed via a spacious landing which has access to the large boarded loft. All the rooms on the first floor have sloping ceilings and storage in the eaves, adding character and useful extra space.

The main bedroom definitely has the wow factor! It comes complete with a large walk-in wardrobe a separate dressing area and an en-suite shower room. As with everything in this home, it is extremely spacious and having the dressing area gives you a relaxing space to get ready for your day. The airing cupboard is in this room and houses a Megaflo tank, meaning you should never be short of hot water.
The en-suite has a white shower cubicle with a mains spa panel shower, W/C and wash hand basin. It has a vented electric extractor fan, plus a large Velux window provides natural ventilation.

The family bathroom has blue patterned flooring and tiling around the water sensitive areas. There is a three piece white suite, with a separate mains shower over the bath. The size of the bathroom means you can bathe the children with relative ease, without feeling cramped and hopefully not creating too much of a watery mess! More hidden eaves storage provides a place to keep towels etc. It has a vented electric
extractor fan, plus a large Velux window for natural ventilation.

Outside, the rear garden has a block paved patio and two separate lawn areas allowing you to follow the sun as it moves throughout the day. There are various assorted borders with established plants and shrubs, plus ample space to have a small vegetable patch along the side of the house. There is a gate that leads to
a parking space in front of the garage. The garage has power and light and an up and over door, but can also be accessed directly from the garden via a courtesy door.

At the front of the property, gates open to provide gravelled parking for up to three cars. Hedges provide privacy and raised rockery flower beds give you the opportunity to add your own plants. There is a gated storage area to the side which would be great for keeping bikes or items only used during the warmer months.

The property is fully double glazed, with mains gas, water and electricity connected. It currently has cable TV and landline telephone/high-speed broadband connected. It is located a short walk away from the town centre and within walking distance of the main railway station, with easy access to road links to surrounding towns and the M1 motorway.
