4 bed link detached house for sale

24 Strickmere, Stratford St Mary CO7

Occupying an established residential area on the northern side of Stratford St Mary, 24 Strickmere is a well-presented house prominently set in some 0.2 acres.

Modernised by the current owners, the house has also been further improved by a single storey rear addition, which consists of a spacious living room that takes full advantage of the wonderful views over the rear garden, with open countryside beyond.

The accommodation generally offers much natural light via numerous picture windows, where all rooms on both floors offer further views to the front and rear aspects.

In addition to the large front family room and spacious sitting room, the core ground floor accommodation provides a well-appointed kitchen / dining room, which is fitted with hardwood worktops, a comprehensive range of units, and integral appliances.

Further storage, worksurfaces, (with a stainless steel sink) laundry facilities, and white goods are to the rear utility room, which is accessed via a side corridor with an adjacent garage and workshop area.

Via a central landing, the first floor provides four double bedrooms which all accentuate the attractive outlook – particularly via rear bedrooms one and three, offering far-reaching rural views over undulating countryside. All bedrooms are served by two white suite bathrooms.

Outside, the house is set well back from the minor adopted highway, which gives an attractive approach across a wide grass verge. The front area (south) provides a large front garden of chiefly lawn, where an adjacent driveway leads to the double length garage.

Abutting a meadow on its entire northern boundary, the well-maintained and level rear garden provides patio areas and established flower and shrub borders which are defined by a large expanse of lawn with a small pond. To one side, access returns to the front garden and driveway.
