5 bed detached house for sale

Devonshire Way, Shirley CR0

This impressive detached residence, cleverly extended and extremely well presented throughout, offers substantial and comprehensive accommodation. Sensibly laid out over two floors, the property has a very versatile feel and will suit those who love to entertain friends, people who work from home, and is ideal for larger and growing families. The ground floor features spacious reception rooms including a stunning 21' lounge, a 14'6 peaceful dining room, an impressive 24' kitchen breakfast room, and a study that could be used as an extra reception room or even a sixth bedroom. A handy utility room and cloakroom complete the comprehensive downstairs layout.

Moving up to the first floor, you will find five very well-proportioned bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom, and bedroom one benefits from an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes. A property of this calibre needs outside space to match, and that is exactly what you will find here: A delightful garden with a southerly aspect and secluded outlook. With an integral garage, a timber cabin in the garden, a large driveway, and a very well-presented interior, this home needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated and understood.

Future Potential
Having already been the subject of well-built and cleverly conceived extensions, there is still scope for further additions if even more living space is required. Similar homes in the immediate area have had large loft conversions, and others have converted their garages, sometimes to create 'granny annex' style accommodation. Of course, any improvements of this nature would require the local authority planning consents.
