Description
Offering flexible accommodation over two floors, with the scope for single-level living as and when required, this individual and spacious detached property sits in generous grounds on the edge of town.
The Property - Whether you have a large family, frequently host guests, or need space for hobbies, this versatile and generously sized chalet-style home offers a wealth of possibilities. Spread across two levels, it also presents the option for single-level living, with a dedicated bedroom wing on the east side that could easily be transformed into a partially self-contained suite or annexe-perfect for a dependent relative. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac of unique detached homes, the property is surrounded by mature, expansive gardens and boasts far-reaching views over the town and out towards the surrounding countryside.
Accommodation - The adaptable layout of this home offers great flexibility. In particular, the optional two ground-floor bedrooms can be used as additional reception rooms, making the property ideal for a variety of lifestyles and stages on the property ladder.
A spacious and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone upon arrival, leading to a generously sized dual-aspect kitchen/dining room on the west side. French doors open directly onto the patio and garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen features sleek cream gloss units and integrated appliances including an electric hob, double oven, dishwasher, full-length stainless steel freezer, an additional fridge, and a central island with breakfast bar-perfect for casual dining. With ample room for even the largest dining table, this kitchen is designed for sociable, family-friendly living. A practical utility room adjoins the kitchen, providing extra workspace, space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, and access to the garden. This room also houses the Grant oil-fired central heating boiler.
To the rear of the property, the well-proportioned sitting room opens onto the sunny decking area. There's also potential to install a wood-burning stove, subject to the necessary consents, as the property was originally built with a chimney (although currently not in use). Across the hall, two additional bedrooms and a nearby shower room offer the potential to create a ground-floor suite if needed.
Upstairs, the landing includes a built-in linen cupboard and leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying far-reaching views. Both double rooms benefit from en suite facilities, one of which features a full bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Outside - The property is accessed via a shared driveway leading into a quiet close of just four distinctive homes. A private driveway offers ample parking and leads to a generously sized single garage, complete with power and lighting. Side gates allow entry to the gardens at both sides of the property. The expansive gardens wrap around the sides and rear of the home. Once part of an orchard, the grounds still feature mature trees-including walnut, apple, and cherry-which provide year-round interest, structure, and seasonal blooms. Additional outdoor features include a fully lined and insulated shed/workshop, a woodstore, and a brick-built BBQ area located at the back of the house. On the east side, amidst the further lawns and ornamental trees you'll find a further area of fruit garden with raspberry canes, currants, and rhubarb. The gardens are sure to be a true delight for gardening enthusiasts.
