An extended and comprehensively modernised three-bedroom detached home, offering a beautifully finished interior, generous driveway parking and a mature enclosed rear garden.
The home has been meticulously updated by the current owners, with the standout feature being the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and utility space, created by a rear extension and designed with family life in mind. A bespoke Gaddesby kitchen with Calacatta Gold quartz worktops, integrated appliances and practical drawer storage is complemented by bifold doors, roof windows and additional glazing, filling the room with natural light and creating a seamless connection with the garden.
Further highlights in the house include a bay-fronted living room with fitted shutters, engineered oak flooring, three bedrooms and a striking four-piece bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower, freestanding bath and underfloor heating. Cavity wall insulation, replacement internal doors and off-road parking for at least three vehicles complete a home that has been carefully considered throughout.
Frontage:
The property is set back from the road behind a tarmac driveway with block paved edging, providing off-road parking for at least three vehicles.
A brick wall forms the front boundary, with timber fencing to the sides. Shingled garden areas with mature shrubs add interest to the frontage, while a paved pathway continues down the side of the home to gated access into the rear garden.
Entrance Hall:
The property is entered through a composite front door into a welcoming entrance hall, where the engineered oak flooring creates an immediate first impression. This continues through the hallway and into the kitchen and dining space, providing a durable and easy-to-maintain finish.
Exposed brick detailing above the internal entrance adds character, while stairs rise to the first-floor landing. The hallway also provides access to the living room, kitchen and dining space, downstairs WC and a built-in shelved cupboard offering practical household storage. A double-glazed window to the side elevation brings natural light into the space, and there is a radiator for heating.
Downstairs WC:
The downstairs WC is fitted with a close coupled WC and wall-mounted wash hand basin with mixer tap. There is a tiled surround and a frosted double-glazed window to the side elevation, allowing natural light while maintaining privacy.
Living Room:
The living room is positioned to the front of the property and has been beautifully decorated by the current owners.
A double-glazed bay window fitted with shutters creates an attractive feature and allows natural light into the room. A fireplace with a marble hearth and mantel forms the central focal point, while a decorative radiator completes the space.
Open-Plan Kitchen, Dining and Utility Area
The extended kitchen, dining and utility area is the centrepiece of the home and has been carefully designed around modern family life.
A former load-bearing wall has been removed to create an open-plan space with a natural flow between the kitchen, dining and utility areas. Bifold doors open directly onto the rear garden, while two roof windows and double-glazed windows to the rear and side elevations allow natural light to fill the room. A further uPVC external door also provides access outside.
The engineered oak flooring continues throughout, visually connecting the room with the entrance hall.
Kitchen:
The bespoke Gaddesby kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, finished with Calacatta Gold quartz worktops.
The current owners have chosen practical drawer storage in place of traditional cupboards wherever possible, making the kitchen easy to use and providing convenient access to everyday items. There is also a tall larder cupboard with electrical sockets and integrated LED lighting.
Appliances include an electric oven, induction hob with extractor hood and an integrated Hotpoint dishwasher. A stainless-steel sink is recessed into the quartz worktop, with drainage grooves etched into the surface and a boiling-water tap completing the arrangement. An integrated waste-bin system provides further everyday practicality.
Pendant lighting above the main kitchen area adds warmth and character to the room.
Utility Area:
The utility area has been incorporated neatly into the open-plan arrangement and is fitted with further bespoke units to match the kitchen.
The units house a washer dryer while providing additional storage for household and laundry items. Recessed spotlights provide lighting, and there is a feature radiator for heating.
Dining Area:
Positioned in front of the bifold doors and beneath the two roof windows, the dining area provides an inviting setting for family meals, entertaining and everyday use.
The generous arrangement allows space for a substantial dining table while maintaining a clear connection with both the kitchen and rear garden. A feature radiator provides heating.
First Floor Landing:
Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where a frosted double-glazed window to the side elevation brings natural light into the space.
Doors provide access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also a built-in cupboard housing the boiler and providing additional storage. The loft hatch is fitted with a pull-down ladder for easier access.
Bedroom One:
The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and is centred around an attractive double glazed bay window fitted with shutters.
The bay creates a natural focal point and allows plenty of light into the room. There is also a radiator for heating.
Bedroom Two:
Bedroom two is a well-proportioned double bedroom positioned to the rear of the property.
A double-glazed window overlooks the rear garden, and there is a radiator for heating.
Bedroom Three:
Bedroom three is positioned to the front of the property and is currently arranged as a home office, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation.
The room benefits from a double-glazed window with fitted shutters and a radiator for heating. It would work equally well as a bedroom, nursery or dedicated workspace.
Family Bathroom:
The family bathroom has been comprehensively redesigned to create a particularly impressive four-piece suite with a calm and contemporary finish.
A tiled walk-in shower enclosure features a rainfall shower head, recessed niche and wall-mounted controls. There is also a freestanding bath with mixer tap, a countertop wash hand basin with mixer tap and a close coupled WC.
Three double glazed windows to the side elevation and a further window to the rear bring an excellent level of natural light into the room. Recessed spotlights, a low-profile heated towel radiator and underfloor heating complete this inviting family bathroom.
Outside:
The rear garden can be accessed through the bifold doors from the dining area, the separate external door from the utility area or via the gated side access.
The garden is mainly laid to lawn and features established planting throughout, with a raised border containing a variety of mature shrubs. A porcelain-tiled seating area with block paved edging provides an attractive setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Further planted areas sit towards the rear of the garden, alongside a shingled section and a metal storage shed. The garden is fully enclosed, creating a pleasant and practical outdoor space that complements the family accommodation.
