This attractive semi-detached family home, with rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, is believed to date from around 1890 and offers versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.
The property has been thoughtfully extended to both the side and rear, creating a generous and adaptable home ideally suited to modern family life. The well thought out accommodation is illustrated in the floorplan. Of particular note is the impressive 25ft open-plan kitchen, breakfast and dining room. This superb space provides the heart of the home and is complemented by a separate utility/ cloakroom. From the kitchen, double doors open directly onto the patio and generous rear garden, creating an excellent connection between the house and garden. The ground floor further comprises a spacious sitting room featuring a woodburner, a useful playroom and another room which the current owners are using as a good-sized double bedroom, offering considerable flexibility for families, guests or those working from home.
Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage, together with a family bathroom. The landing continues to a further staircase rising to the second floor, where there is an additional bedroom accompanied by useful eaves storage.
Outside, a driveway to the front provides parking for up to three cars, with convenient side access leading through to the wonderful rear garden. The generous garden offers an excellent setting for entertaining and relaxing during the warmer months, while providing plenty of space for children to play alongside flower beds and fruit trees, beyond which is an area of mature mixed woodland. Two substantial sheds/ workshops provide valuable additional storage.. In all, the property lies in a plot of approximately 0.508 of an acre.
To summarise, this is a beautifully presented and versatile family home, combining period character with generous and flexible living accommodation, together with an exceptional garden and off-street parking.
