4 bed detached house for sale

Primrose Lane, Shirley Oaks Village CR0

This exceptionally impressive detached residence occupies an enviable and secluded position within the highly regarded Shirley Oaks Village. Superbly presented throughout, this substantial family home offers an outstanding combination of generous proportions, beautifully appointed interiors and a thoughtfully designed layout, perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining. The ground floor provides particularly versatile accommodation, with a 22’7 front-to-back kitchen/breakfast room, providing an ideal setting for everyday family life and offering a sociable environment for more informal gatherings. The impressive lounge extends to approximately 22’ in length and features double doors opening into a separate 14’ x 14’ dining room, creating an excellent arrangement for entertaining and accommodating larger family occasions. Further ground-floor accommodation includes a 14’ office, offering excellent flexibility for home working or alternative uses, together with a useful utility room and a conveniently positioned cloakroom. The integral garden storage room also offers potential for adaptation into an additional study if further work-from-home solutions are required.

The first floor continues to impress, providing four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys a particularly luxurious feel, benefiting from a substantial four-piece en-suite bathroom, whilst bedroom two also features its own en-suite shower room. A well-appointed family bathroom with a white suite serves the remaining bedrooms. The property has been significantly enhanced over the years, including a substantial double-storey side extension, quality flooring and a consistently high standard of presentation throughout. Externally, the property benefits from a double garage, ample off-street parking to the front and a delightful rear garden, providing an attractive outdoor setting for relaxation and family enjoyment. Combining impressive accommodation, considerable versatility and an enviable position, this outstanding home represents a particularly attractive proposition for discerning purchasers seeking a substantial family residence, and an internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, quality and flexibility of accommodation on offer.

Further Extension & Conversion Potential
Whilst already offering extensive family accommodation, the property presents further opportunities for enlargement and adaptation, subject to the relevant planning permissions and building regulation approvals. There is potential to extend the existing ground-floor accommodation to the rear, whilst the configuration of the property also lends itself to the possibility of creating a self-contained or semi-independent annexe arrangement, potentially suited to multi-generational living or accommodating dependent relatives. One option would be to explore the redevelopment of the existing double garage to provide additional ground floor living accommodation, with the possibility of incorporating even further accommodation above.
