An opportunity to purchase an interesting, individual, detached family orientated home tucked away in a quiet backwater on a private close shared with only four other dwellings and positioned on an established corner plot which benefits from a south to westerly aspect.
Originally completed in the mid 1990s the property was designed to mimic an almost barn style design with attractive brick elevations beneath a pantiled roof behind which lies a deceptive level of accommodation extending to the region of 2,000 sq.ft. The accommodation provides up to three reception areas and five bedrooms as well as ensuite and main bathroom.
The original kitchen area has been reconfigured to create a larger, open plan dining area with snug linking through into the living room which, combined, creates a fantastic open plan space perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A further sitting room benefits from a dual aspect, having an attractive exposed brick inglenook fireplace with inset solid fuel stove and access out into the rear garden. For those that don't require five bedrooms the fifth room is located adjacent to the master bedroom and associated shower room which, combined, would make a fantastic, well proportioned master suite which would comprise a spacious double bedroom, with walk in dressing room and ensuite facilities.
As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a pleasant, established plot with double width driveway to the front which, in turn, leads to what was formerly a double garage (which could be converted back) but now provides a useful L shaped utility/workshop which has previously been used as a home office with adjacent store.
The rear garden benefits from a south to westerly aspect and links back into both the main reception rooms creating a pleasant outdoor space.
The property may require some cosmetic updating but we feel this is reflected in the guide price and provides a blank canvas for those wishing to place their own mark on home with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and wealth of accommodation on offer.
