Accommodation
This lovely home, originally a show home for the estate, has a wonderful flow to the accommodation and feels warm and welcoming the moment that you enter the hallway via the solid front door. The welcoming entrance hall with stairs up to the first floor provides access to all of the living spaces. The Kitchen is well appointed with plenty of worktop and cupboard space and and a coffee bar where friends can sit whilst you prepare a warming drink or there is more than enough work space to prepare a culinary masterpiece to satisfy the most discerning palate. The layout is perfect for entertaining large gatherings of both friends and family, and for more formal occasions there is a separate, generous sized dining room. After a hearty meal you can retire and relax in the large sitting room, or on balmy summer evenings, with doors into the garden, why not carry on alfresco in the private enclosed garden. Further, the ground floor has the added benefit of having a separate W/C. The integral garage has power and light and as well as providing an additional parking space would make a great workshop or could provide the space to create a home office, with its' own door onto the back garden this could provide you with the shortest commute.
On the first floor there is plenty of room for family and visitors with four good sized bedrooms. The landing hall is light and airy with three windows looking toward the front of the house and doors to all the first floor accommodation. The bedrooms are generously sized and three have double aspect windows, of particular note is the large Master Bedroom which has its' own en-suite facilities. In addition to the sleeping accommodation there is a well fitted modern family bathroom.
The house would suit a variety of buyers whether you are a young family looking for a home to grow into, a larger family that need more space or an older couple who would like the convenience of being close to amenities and having enough room to welcome visiting grandchildren.
This house will make a wonderful home for who ever is lucky enough to be the next occupier and really must be seen to be fully appreciated.
