5 bedroom detached house for sale

DESCRIPTION
Rumptons Paddock is a cul de sac of detached houses on the northwestern edge of the village and number 13 is wonderfully tucked away off a little spur at the end of the street giving it a private setting.
The owners extended the property over 20 years ago adding another reception room and creating two first floor rooms over said reception room and the garage which provide extra bedrooms or a sitting room and bedroom perfect for a den or partial annexe or even offices.
In the entrance hall is the main staircase and to the right a cloakroom. The kitchen has a tiled floor and comprises white hi gloss soft close units on all four walls with grey granite effect worktops and back stands. The integrated Zanussi appliances consist of a dishwasher, fridge and freezer, and there is a double oven, induction hob, and above the hob an extractor hood. Adjacent is a dining room and sliding doors that open into the garden room which spans mostly the width of the house. It is of double-glazed timber construction, separated into two rooms and overlooks the gardens. There is a very spacious dual aspect sitting room and beyond a study or playroom with the secondary staircase in-between that take you up to the rooms over the garage. Each room is a good size and the flexible use lends itself well to a living and sleeping area or even offices. The other four bedrooms are all doubles, the principle bedroom having an ensuite shower room and the remaining served by a family bathroom.
