Step inside 9 Northwood Drive

You need to cross the threshold to really appreciate everything this beautifully refurbished family home has to offer. It is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and the frontage is bordered by attractive shrub beds and hedges and includes plenty of space to park up to eight vehicles. This leads to the detached brick-built garage that is big enough to house a large car while still leaving plenty of storage space and has planning permission to be converted to an annex. There is a smart and contemporary front porch with useful storage cupboards which opens into the entrance hall that includes a cloakroom, additional storage facilities and the staircase with its fascinating wrought iron bannister.

There is a large L-shaped lounge with an attractive brick fireplace and a log effect gas fire as well as a very useful study area that has a picture window into the dining area. The light and bright dual aspect dining area is semi open plan to the modern kitchen and includes two sets of patio doors to the swimming pool complex. The contemporary Cashmere coloured units in the kitchen house a Neff double oven, a five-ring halogen hob and a stand-alone small dishwasher with space for a family sized dishwasher if required. There is also a central island with an inset granite worktop, additional storage units including a drinks cabinet, a door to the garden and access to the utility room that has similar Cashmere coloured units, laundry facilities and an American style fridge freezer.

Off the galleried landing on the first floor there is a contemporary family bathroom and three double bedrooms that all have direct access to the superb balcony / terrace with its glass and stainless steel balustrade, where you can happily enjoy your morning coffee or a nightcap before bed. Two of the bedrooms include built in cupboards while the main bedroom also has a modern en suite shower room with twin vanity basins and a dressing area.

The Jacuzzi style swimming pool is surrounded by attractive paving and windows on three sides. It is heated by an independent boiler that also provides air conditioning for the pool room and there is a heated shower also ‘in situ’ to enable showering after swimming. As well as the patio doors from the dining room there are also patio doors to the garden and the very secluded terrace that catches the sun all day and is ideal for al fresco entertaining. The garden also includes a covered pergola with a raised decked terrace and a large lawn with shrub borders, a workshop/shed with sea views and the detached brick-built garage with the existing planning permission to be converted into living accommodation. The plans include the provision of a bedroom, kitchen/ diner, bathroom and the addition of a large living room.
