4 bedroom detached house for sale

The house was originally built in 1969 and has been subjected to a full programme of internal and external renovations, creating a contemporary and timelessly elegant home that is future proofed for many years to come.

This thoughtfully renovated, light filled family home provides beautiful spacious family accommodation. A particular highlight is the open plan kitchen and dining room, which has excellent natural light with windows on two sides and bifold doors leading out to the rear garden. The fitted sandstone cabinetry adds a high specification finish and includes a number of integrated appliances. Separate to the kitchen is the elegant sitting room, with its own wall of glazed bifold doors offering a lovely green aspect. The neutral tone continues through the inviting entrance hallway, downstairs cloakroom and upstairs to the first floor, where there are four generous bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite. In addition there is a newly installed modern family bathroom with a smart finish. Further benefits to the home include new electrics, a new boiler, full cover loft, updated flooring and carpets, a large amount of storage and cosmetic decoration.

The house is attractively presented externally with good kerb appeal – the outside has been reclad in composite cladding to the front and rear. Off-street parking is available on the gravel driveway to the front for multiple cars, and is bordered by raised flowerbeds stocked with mature shrubs. Currently there is an attached single integrated garage which has conditional planning permission to convert into an annexe (see 5/2024/1765). Prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority. The property also benefits from an EV charger.

To the rear, the garden is enclosed by wooden panel fencing with a mature hedge at the far end. The garden is landscaped to include a paved terrace, a parcel of lawn and a collection of flowerbeds, with a wooden shed for storage.
