Commanding an elevated and enviable position along a highly desirable residential lane, is this imposing three double bedroom, two reception room, semi-detached property affording substantial living accommodation and extensive outside space to the front at a south-west position. This much-loved family home is brought to market for the first time in over 40 years and has clearly been well maintained and cherished within that time. The house is presented to a good standard throughout and is fully equipped with double glazing, gas central heating, house security alarm system and eight solar panels on the roof. Whilst the property is perfectly ‘ready to move in' in its current form, it also offers excellent further potential to create a forever family home by modernising and reconfiguring the layout. There is a considerable amount of outside space, which would allow for an extension to be added to the rear of the property (subject to planning permission). There is further opportunity with this plot to develop the garage or lower part of the garden (subject to planning consents and permissions). This property is offered with no onward chain.
The Inside Tour
Enter the ground floor level through a side entrance porch with UPVC exterior door and double-glazed window panels. A second timber door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with open staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading to the lounge, dining room and cloakroom comprising WC and hand basin with a tiled floor, and wall cupboard containing the service metres.
Step through into a splendid reception room with impressive bay window to the front south-west elevation, which enjoys open views across the valley and draws exquisite natural light into the space. This capacious sitting room features a decorative stone archway, ceiling coving, wall lights, stone fireplace extending into the alcoves and fitted gas fire. A UPVC double glazed door leads into the conservatory providing an extended space to the room. The conservatory is UPVC and double glazed in construction and has herringbone vinyl flooring underfoot. It takes full advantage of the magnificent surrounding views over the garden and beyond. French doors lead out to an extensive decking area that runs the breadth of the house.
From the hallway enter through into a well-proportioned dining room with rear elevation window and access to the kitchen. The kitchen is well maintained and fully fitted with light wooden cabinetry and complementary granite effect worktops, stainless steel sink with mixer tap, gas hob with pull out extractor hood above, electric single oven, integrated fridge freezer, space for washing machine, tiled splashback and cream tiled flooring underfoot, window to the rear elevation and timber exterior door with access to the rear of the property. There is a useful storage pantry with lovely vintage wallpaper and louvre doors containing the BAXI combi boiler that was fitted in 2011 and has a full-service history up to 2022. There would be ample space here for a tumble dryer if required.
To the first floor is an open landing area leading to three spacious double bedrooms, house bathroom and airing cupboard that provides an essential storage space to this level. The principal bedroom affords generous proportions and good natural light from the front aspect window, which boasts spectacular elevated views of the surrounding valley. White fitted wardrobes run the length of the room providing necessary storage space. The second bedroom is equally generously sized and boasts a bay window to the front elevation with more of those elevated views. There is a loft hatch accessed by ladder, which is partially boarded and provides access to the solar panels. The third bedroom is another well-proportioned room that will easily accommodate a double bed and has a window to the rear elevation.
The house bathroom sits to the rear of the plan and is generously sized furnished with a four-piece bathroom suite comprising WC, pedestal sink, bath and separate walk-in shower enclosure. The room is fully tiled across the walls and floor. Louvred cupboards sit abreast one wall providing plenty of storage space.
The Outside Space
To the rear of the property (situated along Brow Foot Gate Lane) is a block paved parking space, which will adequately fit either one large, or two small, vehicles. Two side pathways lead down to the property - to the side door and the kitchen door. There are stone built flower beds filled with shrubbery and rose bushes. The pathway continues to the front of the house where there is a decked area running the breadth of the property. Steps lead down to an extensive sloping lawned garden, which is bordered with shrubbery and has a greenhouse part way. The garden measures a staggering 60 metres (approx.) in length. At the bottom of the garden is a detached double garage and an additional two parking spaces. Direct vehicle access to the garage is via Willowfield View. The garage features an up and over door and has power with electrical sockets and a light providing secure vehicle parking, or a useful storage space for garden tools, machinery and furniture. The property further benefits from having eight solar panels to the south facing roof elevation, which were fitted in 2011.
