Description

Built by Berkeley Homes in the late 1980’s, 3 Broad Oak Close is an attractive, detached, modern family home with over 2850 sq ft of family-friendly accommodation set over two floors, together with a garage of 365 sq ft, a considerable garden, and direct access onto the High Weald Landscape Trail, offering beautiful country walks.

The very generous ground floor comprises three sizeable reception rooms, all fitted with decorative coving; the triple aspect drawing room being of particular note, enjoying a feature gas fireplace and a door opening to the rear terrace. The dining room also enjoys direct access to the rear, together with the kitchen breakfast room which is fitted with triple bi-folding doors. The kitchen offers an abundance of shaker-style cabinets providing ample storage, granite worktops offering plentiful preparation space, and a range of integrated appliances. There is an adjoining utility room with space for both a washing machine and dryer, together with further storage cupboards. A wc completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is home to a spacious landing leading to the principal bedroom enjoying a fitted dressing area with mirrored wardrobes and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also provides fitted wardrobes and a further en suite bathroom, whilst the sizeable family bathroom with both a bath and walk-in shower serves the remaining three bedrooms; two of which have fitted wardrobes.

Outside, the well-screened south-facing garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a paved terrace spanning the rear of the house, and attractive herbaceous borders providing colour throughout the year. There is a good-sized storage shed discreetly tucked to one side of the garden, and a gate to the rear of the garden opening onto the High Weald Landscape Trail.

The driveway to the front of the property provides parking for several vehicles, with access to the double garage; fitted with electricity and mezzanine storage. Steps lead down to the entrance hall, with herbaceous borders screening the sitting room from the cul de sac.
