General

Positioned at the end of this very desirable tree lined cul-de-sac, this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a much-loved, chain free family home of over 30 years. The property is laid out over 4 floors and provides almost 4000 square feet of very flexible living accommodation; with the potential to reconfigure to suit individual preferences if desired. Currently, the ground floor comprises a welcoming hallway, three receptions rooms and two bathrooms (or two reception rooms, one bedroom and two bathrooms). On the lower ground floor is a workshop, a store (or bedroom), a wet room, and a sizeable family room with living, dining and kitchen areas. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), a separate WC and a kitchen diner on the first floor, with a further three bedrooms and a shower room to the second floor. The front of the property benefits from a pretty cottage style garden with a path leading to a rain porch, together with a driveway that extends along the side and into the rear garden. The gated rear garden is particularly generous for the area, packed with well established trees, shrubs, border plants and hedges. There is a paved patio area immediately outside the bi-fold doors in the family room, a greenhouse and a shed, and a cobbled/gravelled path leads to the second half of the garden which extends to the boundary line running parallel to Back Ridge Terrace. Gas centrally heated and mostly double/secondary glazed. Family houses on this scale and in this location don’t often come to open market and an internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate this well-proportioned property.
