Occupying a substantial plot along one of Poringland's most established and desirable roads, this impressive detached family home extends to almost 1900 sq.ft. of accommodation and has been significantly enhanced by the current owners to create a home perfectly suited to modern family life.
Originally constructed during the 1950s, the property has evolved considerably over the years, blending the generous proportions associated with homes of this era alongside contemporary living spaces that today's buyers increasingly seek. From the moment you arrive, the scale of the property is immediately apparent, with a generous driveway providing extensive off-road parking alongside the integral garage.
The accommodation is both spacious and versatile throughout. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a superb double-aspect sitting room, where large windows flood the room with natural light whilst the attractive original parquet flooring adds warmth, character and a timeless sense of style. Equally impressive is the stunning kitchen/dining room, extending to over 23 feet in length and forming the true heart of the home. Fitted with a contemporary range of units centred around a substantial island, this exceptional space is designed equally well for everyday family life and entertaining. Flowing seamlessly from the hallway through to the kitchen, dining and family areas is high-quality oak flooring, creating both continuity and an elegant finish throughout the principal living spaces.
Beyond the kitchen, the property opens into a magnificent family room extension. Featuring a vaulted ceiling with roof lantern, expansive glazing and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the raised terrace, this room creates a seamless connection between the home and gardens beyond. Whether hosting family gatherings, enjoying summer evenings or simply taking in the outlook across the gardens, this outstanding space undoubtedly represents one of the home's defining features.
Further enhancing the practicality of the ground floor is a particularly useful utility room, cloakroom and internal access to the garage, creating excellent day-to-day functionality for a busy family household.
To the first floor, the sense of space continues. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining three bedrooms are all generous doubles, a feature increasingly difficult to find within many modern homes. These rooms are served by a spacious family bathroom.
Outside, the gardens are a genuine highlight. Extending to approximately 100 feet in length, the rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy thanks to an abundance of mature trees and established planting. The raised timber terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, whilst the lawned gardens beyond offer plenty of space for children to play and families to enjoy.
Combining almost 1900 sq.ft. of accommodation, four double bedrooms, outstanding reception space and a generous mature plot, this is a home that offers exceptional versatility for growing families whilst occupying one of Poringland's most sought-after residential addresses.
