In more Details (Interior)
As you step through the front door, you are greeted by the large inviting entrance hall – great for coats and shoes, but also more given its generous size! Further storage is available in the hallway. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan dining and living area, bathed in natural light from large full-height windows overlooking the picturesque West Facing Garden. The original 1960s kitchen breakfast area retains its character, offering functionality and scope for personalization. Always handy – a downstairs WC completes the ground floor.
Ascending the stairs, passing the floor to ceiling feature window, you’ll find a family bathroom and four generously sized bedrooms. The bedrooms to the rear of the property enjoy a fabulous view of the Walled Garden, whilst those on the front of this home overlook the exceptionally large front garden. The two largest bedrooms benefit from large built-in wardrobes. There is a loft space with access hatch above providing a good deal of storage.
Step Outside
Venture outside to discover the real gem of this unique home – the expansive West-facing Garden. This outdoor oasis is adorned with mature fruit trees, offering not only beauty but also the opportunity for homegrown delights. Whether you’re hosting gatherings or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon, this garden provides the perfect backdrop. Not content with one large garden, this property benefits from an exceptionally large front garden too. This can offer potential to extend further towards the road to be more in line with the current build line, or another garden for the new owner to enjoy.
In addition to the gardens, the property offers off-street parking, ensuring convenience for residents and guests alike. A garage provides further storage or parking options, adding to the practicality of this charming home.
