4 bedroom detached house for sale

An imposing double fronted four bedroom family home dating from the 1940’s with modern additions set within an impressive plot with private gardens.

Description

The original and attractive main entrance sets a welcoming tone to a charming family home revealed soon after one enters the central hallway. The interior has been thoughtfully designed and tastefully appointed with versatile accommodation to suit the day-to-day demands of family living. The full width rear extension has dramatically improved the property and completely transformed the accommodation, adding flexibility and a central heart of the home perfect for
modern living. The ground floor comprises a magnificent 34'x19' kitchen/breakfast family room along with some charming reception rooms with original bay windows. The utility and laundry room is a practical benefit allowing pets, sports equipment and additional storage to be tucked out of the way, with a downstairs WC completing the ground floor.

To the first floor there is a primary bedroom with a well fitted en suite shower room, original bay window and an elevated view over the tree tops to the front. There are two further bedrooms and what is currently a dressing room, that could easily be converted back to a fourth bedroom. A family bathroom, linen cupboard and access to the loft complete the first floor. Of note, there is potential to extend into what is a vast and open loft space (subject to planning permission) to create additional bedrooms and a bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The property has private off road parking for several vehicles, a garage and access to an impressive and extremely pretty garden to the rear. There is a particularly pleasant and private paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining. The garden is mostly laid to lawn and features a variety of mature trees that create a sense of real privacy and seclusion. Generally the gardens are easily maintained and offer space for children's play equipment, garden/bike storage as well as an area to grow vegetables or keep pets.
