**Impressive Five Bedroom Family Home**
This attractive and characterful five bedroom detached home, originally built in the 1920s and thoughtfully extended to the front, side and rear, offers generous and versatile family accommodation throughout. Occupying a sizeable plot with an exceptionally long rear garden, extensive parking, workshop and garage facilities, this is a property perfectly suited to growing families and those seeking space both inside and out.
The welcoming entrance hall immediately creates a sense of space and practicality, featuring fitted wardrobes that provide useful storage. Double wooden doors open into the impressive dual-aspect lounge/dining room, a bright and versatile living space enhanced by a charming floating bay window to the front, additional front and side windows, a feature cast iron fireplace and attractive hardwood flooring.
The heart of the home is the spacious L-shaped kitchen/dining room, fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units and finished with tiled flooring. The room enjoys plenty of natural light and offers direct access to the conservatory via French doors, creating an ideal layout for entertaining and family life. A useful utility room provides further storage, a sink positioned beneath a window, space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, and houses the Worcester Bosch boiler.
The conservatory provides an additional reception area overlooking the garden, with windows to the side and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a convenient cloakroom/WC.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from two front-facing windows and a modern en-suite shower room fitted with a shower enclosure, wash hand basin, WC, heated towel rail and side-facing window. Four further well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, with bedroom three featuring fitted sliding wardrobes, whilst bedrooms four and five are currently utilised as a home office and dressing room respectively.
The family bathroom is generously appointed with a corner bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC, heated towel rail and rear-facing window.
Externally, the property continues to impress. Beneath the side extension is a substantial workshop/car port with wooden double doors to both the front and rear, offering excellent storage and workspace potential. To the rear stands a large detached garage which benefits from a recently replaced roof.
The extensive rear garden is a true highlight. The first section is laid to low-maintenance artificial lawn and includes a large greenhouse and metal storage shed. Beyond this lies an impressive allotment-style garden with numerous raised beds, perfect for keen gardeners and those wishing to grow their own produce.
To the front, a block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking for up to six vehicles and is attractively enclosed by a brick boundary wall with established shrub and flower borders creating an inviting first impression.
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home combining period character, extensive living space, exceptional outdoor facilities and a remarkable garden plot.
