Extended Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Home with Garage and Generous Garden, Beautifully Maintained Throughout and Offering Superb Potential, Ideally Positioned Within the Highly Sought After Village of Lanchester.
Occupying a generous, larger than average plot within the ever desirable village of Lanchester, this thoughtfully extended three bedroom semi-detached home presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking space, versatility and the chance to place their own stamp on a well cared for property.
The approach immediately sets the tone. A smart block paved driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the garage, while a neatly arranged forecourt garden with colourful spring planting offers a warm and welcoming first impression, reflecting the care with which the home has been maintained.
Stepping inside, you are greeted by a spacious inner porch, a practical and inviting entrance space that adds to the sense of proportion. To the left, a useful ground floor shower room enhances the flexibility of the layout, ideal for busy households or visiting guests.
Beyond, the home opens into a superb double reception room, combining lounge and dining areas in one impressive, light filled space. A large window to the front elevation adds character while drawing in natural light, complemented by a further window to the rear that creates a pleasant dual aspect and an airy, balanced feel throughout the day. This is a room designed for both relaxed evenings and sociable gatherings, with clearly defined yet flowing zones for living and dining. The heating is provided by a gas back-boiler system.
From the dining area, access leads into the kitchen, which is fitted with an oven and gas hob. In recent years, the cupboard doors have been updated, refreshing the space while retaining the original cabinetry beneath. There is direct access from the kitchen to the rear garden, and in turn to the back of the garage, where a separate utility room provides valuable additional storage and laundry space, keeping the main living areas free from clutter.
Externally, the rear garden is a true highlight. Occupying a generous plot and beautifully maintained, it offers an abundance of space for families, keen gardeners or those simply seeking a private and peaceful outdoor retreat. The proportions provide excellent scope for landscaping, play areas or even further enhancement, subject to the necessary consents.
To the first floor, a spacious landing gives access to three well proportioned bedrooms. Loft access is available via a hatch with drop down ladders, and the loft itself is part boarded, offering useful additional storage. Bedrooms one and three are positioned to the front of the property, with the principal bedroom benefiting from built in wardrobe storage, while bedroom three features an over-stairs storage cupboard. Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden and is fitted with bedroom furniture, also incorporating an airing cupboard for further practicality. The family bathroom completes the accommodation, comprising a fitted WC and wash hand basin, along with a bath with a shower over.
Situated within Lanchester, a highly regarded village known for its strong sense of community, excellent local amenities and scenic countryside surroundings, this home offers the perfect balance of village charm and everyday convenience. For buyers seeking a property with generous proportions, established gardens and the opportunity to modernise to their own taste, this is a compelling prospect in a truly sought after setting.
