Full description

THE PROPERTY A most appealing and interesting, modern SPLIT LEVEL DETACHED FAMILY RESIDENCE attractively situated in private grounds extending to a little over 1/2 ACRE. This individually designed property was built approximately 23 years ago and providers well proportioned family accommodation in a secluded setting with terraced gardens all around. Approached by way of a private drive which affords excellent off road parking facilities for a number of vehicles the property enjoys a sunny aspect with the garden in the sun for most of the day.

Crazy paved paths lead to both the front and back doors and at the side of the house is an attractive porticoed vestibule supporting a balcony above. On the lower ground floor are the bedrooms including an attractive principal suite with steps up to the well fitted kitchen, a double glazed conservatory, utility room and contemporary family shower room with electronic shower on the upper ground floor. Further steps lead to a well lit landing with access to a large balcony providing splendid views over the gardens and the principal reception accommodation with 2 large rooms, the second of which could be converted into an additional bedroom and en-suite accommodation if so required. The sitting room in particular with its double aspect windows is a lovely feature of the house.

One of the advantages of the layout of the property is the great flexibility as to how the accommodation can be utilised for the requirements of a particular family.

The gardens are a haven for wildlife with the wooded grounds ideal for children to explore within. Beyond the conservatory is a TERRACE/PATIO which together with the mature trees and shrubs all help to provide much seclusion and privacy. The whole plot extends to a little over 1/2 ACRE.

The property also benefits from gas fired central heating, sealed unit double glazing, 6 panelled colonist style internal doors and attractive cornicing in a number of rooms. We strongly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate all that this individual property has to offer the modern family.
