Welcome to Southfields, a delightful four bedroomed detached family home located on the northern edge of the charming village of Scraptoft. Originally built in the 1960s as a bungalow, this property has been thoughtfully extended and converted to create a spacious and comfortable family home. Situated on a large plot with a west-facing garden, Southfields enjoys plenty of natural light and a sense of openness throughout. With its convenient location, this property is within easy reach of local amenities and is ideal for families seeking a peaceful village lifestyle.

ON ENTRY.
Welcoming you into the home via the fully glazed porch is a central entrance hall which provides access to the ground floor rooms. Pause for a moment here to remove coats and shoes before venturing into the home.

A WARM RECEPTION.
Oak double doors from the entrance hall open into an impressive 25ft living room which has been arranged around a woodburning stove. A large picture window illuminates the space with natural light and in turn, shares spectacular views over the rear garden, whilst an opening through to the dining room (which also shares views and access to the garden through its French doors) makes this the ideal space for entertaining and becomes a social hub of the home.

CULINARY CLASS.
Adjoining the entrance hall and dining room is a fabulous kitchen breakfast room which is also a great size. Featuring a comprehensive range of matching base and wall-mounted units and plenty of worktop space, there is a fitted gas oven and grill, a five-ring gas hob, and space for a washing machine and dishwasher, Fridge and Freezer. In the light of the large window facing to the front aspect is a breakfast bar that is perfect for casual catch-ups with friends or family over morning coffee whilst a door that leads to a covered lean-to between the rear of the garage and back garden is a useful addition for day to day life.

WORKING FROM HOME.
To the left of the hall, and ideally located away from the hustle and bustle of the main living rooms, the study/office offers a peaceful retreat to focus on work or studies, free from distraction. It could of course be used as a fifth bedroom if required.

A ROOM WITH A VIEW.
The master bedroom is located on the ground floor and is simply a joy to behold. This sumptuous master suite feels private and secluded from the rest of the home and enjoys its very own perfectly framed view of the beautiful rear garden. Comprising a large double bedroom, adjoining dressing area and ensuite shower room, its position in the home offers flexibility to be used as an annexe also.

SOAK AND SLUMBER.
A luxurious family bathroom located on the ground floor is both a treat and a delight. Modern, sleek and elegant and with a three-piece suite, whilst upstairs there is a further (and equally delightful) shower room that serves the three double bedrooms found on either side of the first-floor landing. Eaves storage or built-in cupboards provides valuable storage in all three rooms.

OUTSIDE THE HOME.
"Southfields" offers a large, gated driveway with parking for several vehicles and a single garage with barn-style double doors. To the rear, an outstanding garden is the real highlight of the property and features two patio areas from the rear of the home, stepping down to the main lawn, wildlife pond, sheds and greenhouse. The ‘babbling’ from the natural stream that runs alongside the garden creates a sense of peace and tranquillity, whilst established flower beds, trees, shrubs and hedging means the garden is full of intrigue and diverse in colour throughout the year and regularly attracts all kinds of wildlife from ducks, songbirds, kingfishers and even the occasional deer.
This really is a ‘gardeners garden’ and a wonderful place to enjoy especially in the summer months.
