General Description

Owned from new by the same family since it was constructed in 2007, Braeside is a substantial and impressive family house with lovely garden, integral double garage and parking, very quietly located in the popular village of Ceres. The house has a handsome harled façade under a slate roof, whilst the spacious accommodation is charming and of a high quality throughout. Very much at the heart of the house is the superb open plan kitchen / dining / family room with wonderful sunroom off and door through to the well-proportioned main lounge with living flame gas fire. The hall, vestibule, utility room and wc complete the ground floor. Upstairs a very useful additional sitting toom / family area opens off the hall. The beautiful main bedroom has en-suite facilities, with three further bedrooms (two of which share Jack and Jill en-suite facilities) and the family bathroom completing the accommodation.

This beautifully presented, generously proportioned property has been finished to a high standard throughout, which is clear to see with the very well-appointed kitchen, delightful bath / shower rooms and the lovely woodwork. There is gas central heating and the house is double glazed.

Early viewing is advised.
