This is a spectacular opportunity for families seeking potential for a large extension within Maiden Erleigh catchment.
The size of the plot must be viewed in person to be fully appreciated and could also be built on subject to planning permission.
To the front there is driveway parking for three- four cars and detached garage. There is scope to remove shrubbery should a larger driveway ever be required.
Stepping inside there is a spacious, traditional hallway.
The front aspect living room has a large bay window and wood burning fire. Semi open plan to the spacious dining room which leads to the large garden room which has lovely views of the garden and leads back round into the kitchen. The kitchen also has a lovely view over the garden and features granite worktops and plenty of cupboard space with extra tall units.
For anyone dreaming of an open plan kitchen/ family room, it should be possible to open up the kitchen, dining and garden room into one large space by knocking down a few walls (supporting walls which will need steel beams added, professional advice should always be taken before offering when considering any building works)
A further dual aspect reception room, currently used as a study/spare bedroom and downstairs toilet complete the ground floor.
Upstairs the property has three great sized bedrooms with a family bathroom.
Some 1930's character remains including picture rails and cornices.
Outside to the side and rear is where the true extension potential becomes apparent, there is huge space to the side where there is currently side access to the driveway, detached garage and a further large shed.
The mature garden is perfect for keen gardeners and has a large patio area, green house, two lawn areas, lots of shrubbery and large vegetable patch. It is a very private, completely non overlooked garden. There is also the "posh shed" as the owner calls it (technical term is a Kota shed) it has a circular seating area surrounding a fire pit which the owners regularly cook with, perfect for entertaining.

Sellers View
"We have happily lived here in St Peter’s Road for nearly 24 years, we initially fell in love with the large (and back then somewhat overgrown) private garden, spacious living rooms and bedrooms.
Our daughter has grown up in this house and has had plenty of room to bring home friends. She even had a ‘mini prom’ after A levels as the garden was a perfect setting for it. As she was growing up it was great to have Sol Joel and Palmer Parks so close.
The addition of the Garden Room with insulated roof gives a great area for entertaining and enjoying the views out to the garden.
The neighbours are really friendly and we know several of them well. Many of the neighbours have lived here longer than us! The next door neighbours on both sides have children who have grown up on this road and now at University.
We love cooking over fire so having the Kota (aka the Posh shed ) with fire pit means we can indulge our hobby all year round, whatever the weather. We regularly cook outside and in the Posh shed for family and friends.
We will miss the house, the garden and the posh shed, however it is time for us to move on to a new adventure”
