4 bedroom detached house

In need of updating but enjoying an enviable location literally seconds from Mayflower School and local shops, a short walk from the Buttsbury Primary Schools and only 0.8 mile from the Station, this Four Bedroom Detached early 1970's house also has a nearly 70ft long Garden and a big front Drive, as well as the slightly larger than average integral Garage.

Inside the accommodation comprises the entrance Hall with a handy internal door to the Garage (easy conversion option, Ground floor WC, Kitchen/Breakfast Room with 'Oakwood' fronted units, nice big square Lounge with a Fireplace and an adjacent Dining Room, spacious Landing, the four bedrooms and the Bathroom.

The Accommodation in more detail

HALL 12ft 4" x 7ft 9" (3.76m x 2.36m)

We thought the under-stairs area could easily be closed off to form an under-stairs cupboard.

A further lockable internal door opens to reveal the garage, the other three doors leading off to the Kitchen/Breakfast Room, ground floor WC and Lounge.

GROUND FLOOR WC ROOM

Fitted with a two-piece cloakroom suite and with a front-facing window for natural light.

LOUNGE 16ft 1" x 15ft (4.90m x 4.57m)

Enjoying a southerly aspect, light streams in through the rear-facing bow window, with further light coming in from another smaller window on the side.

Archway from Lounge through to:

DINING ROOM 10ft x 8ft 8" (3.05m x 2.64m)

With a set of French Doors opening to the garden and a further side-facing window, both making this a particularly light and bright second reception room.

KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM 19ft 3" x 8ft 6" narrowing to 7ft (5.87m x 2.59m > 2.13m)

Fitted with a range of 'Oakwood' fronted Shaker style units incorporating a Siemens gas hob with a Smeg multifunction oven/grill below and integrated extractor above, a recess for a slimline appliance (at present an additional fridge) and a space at the end of the units for a fridge/freezer.

A part-glazed external door leads out to the sideway.

Stairs from HALL rising to:

LANDING

A spacious and well-lit area with a large recess halfway up the stairwell with a front-facing window that throws light across the stairwell and over the landing.

The airing cupboard houses the hot water cylinder.

MASTER BEDROOM 15ft 7" x 12ft (4.75m x 3.66m)

Flooded with light, this dual-aspect bedroom also has an attractive set of two full-height, fitted double wardrobes along the left wall as you enter.

BEDROOM TWO 11ft 9" x 9ft 3" (3.58m x 2.82m)

A rear-facing double bedroom with a pleasant outlook and a built-in wardrobe (excluded from the length of the room measurements).

BEDROOM THREE 11ft x 8ft 6" (3.35m x 2.59m)

A front-facing bedroom that will take a double bed with ease.

BEDROOM FOUR 10ft max x 8ft 7" (3.05m max x 2.62m)

Another generous bedroom that will also take a double bed, this one again to the rear and giving a notably pleasant outlook.

A built-in full-height wardrobe provides great storage as well.

BATHROOM and separate adjacent SHOWER ROOM:

BATHROOM 6ft 8" x 5ft 5" (2.03m x 1.65m)

Fitted with a dated 'Pampas' coloured bathroom suite.

It is still fully functional and the marking in the bath is actually hair dye. The bath itself has been professionally cleaned but the dye unfortunately has stained the enamel.

Adjacent to the BATHROOM is what would have originally been an airing cupboard, the door still visible from the bath. Now converted into a separate SHOWER ROOM.

SHOWER ROOM 5ft 5" x 2ft 5" (1.65m x 0.74m)

With a fitted shower at the end and a high-level window receiving borrowed light from the Bathroom.

EXTERIOR - FRONT

To the front is a tarmac drive providing parking for four cars with ease, plus the lawn could be paved over for more.

Hedging at the front provides privacy from the road and a small Scots pine and Cherry Tree provides nice additional features.

GARAGE 17ft x 8ft 5" (5.18m x 2.57m)

A good size garage with its 8ft 9" (2.67m) high ceiling and step down from the Hall allowing for an easy garage conversion.

The garage also houses the Ideal 'Classic' boiler, a fairly new-looking consumer unit and gas meter. Also with a light and power sockets.

EXTERIOR - REAR GARDEN

There is access on both sides round to the rear garden, which commences with paved patio which then runs onto the lawn.

Various established trees and bushes provide a degree of seclusion, and a small shed can house all your gardening tools.

The side on the right is quite wide and a gate halfway up provides direct access to the private stretch of 'The Grove', so sleepy teenagers can run into Mayflower School in literally about 30 seconds!

WHAT WE THINK

The Lounge projects further out into the garden than the dining room, and so we think you could 'square this off' by extending the size of the dining room and open it all up to create one big, rear open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room - such is the current trend. The 19ft Kitchen/Breakfast Room could become a smaller separate sitting room and of course the garage could also be converted, as it has a high ceiling height and steps down from the hall, so it would be quite a straightforward job.

The wardrobe recess in the master bedroom could potentially be converted to a small ensuite as the kitchen is directly below so we do have drainage of some description there.

The eagle eyed would've already spotted the obvious opening up of the bathroom and separate shower room to create a large family bathroom that would be big enough for both a huge walk-in shower, as well as a full-size bath.

The garden is a lovely size and could easily take large cabin at the end and the front lawn could easily be paid over to create even more parking at the front.
