Description

125 Forest Road is an attractive, detached family house, dating back to the 1930s with well-balanced accommodation which is well-presented throughout, whilst still allowing a new family to make their mark and put their own stamp on the house moving forward.

A welcoming and good sized entrance hall leads to a spacious front to back reception room with feature fireplace and French doors overlooking and opening on to the rear terrace and garden beyond. A further generous reception room can be used as needed, such as a TV/family room or playroom. The kitchen/dining room is found to the rear of the house; the fitted kitchen provides good storage with ample room for a large dining table, with French doors opening to the rear terrace. A separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete this floor.

To the first floor, there are two large double bedrooms, both of which have en suites and views over the garden. There are three further bedrooms, together with the family bathroom.

Outside: A private gated driveway is accessed via Whybourne Crest. The established and well-screened garden wraps around the house with a paved terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining and plenty of room for child's play.
