Vale View is an attractive part-rendered doublefronted property offering more than 2,300 sq. ft. of light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming wooden-floored reception hall with useful cloakroom and briefly comprises a spacious sitting room with feature fireplace with woodburning stove and an extensive L-shaped kitchen/breakfast/dining room. The kitchen offers a range of wall and base units including a large central island, wooden worktops, Belfast sink, modern integrated appliances and a neighbouring fitted utility room with useful en suite cloakroom, while the dining room has bifold doors to the rear terrace.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a spacious principal bedroom, one further bedroom, both with built-in storage, a well-proportioned wooden-floored study with bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, suitable for use as an additional bedroom if required, and a contemporary family shower room. The property’s three remaining bedrooms, all with built-in storage, and a contemporary family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower can be found on the second floor.

Occupying an elevated position giving stunning views and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a block-paved driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles and giving access to the garage. The well-maintained garden is laid mainly to lawn bordered by mature shrub and flower beds and features an outbuilding with garden room and open-sided store and large paved terraces, one with bespoke firepit and built-in seating, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoying far-reaching views over the valley from which the property takes its name.
