The Property
4 Crown Close is entered to the side of the property through a wooden gate, and a pathway leads to the front door, which in turn takes you into a spacious reception hall with practical tiled flooring and a wooden staircase leading to the first floor.
To the right hand side, the tiled flooring continues into the Kitchen/ Breakfast Room.
The room is a good size, big enough for a 4/6 seating table, and has a country cottage ambience with a delightfully outlook over the well stocked, attractive garden. There are a generous variety of cupboards and drawers, a built-in eye level double oven and microwave, induction hob, Rayburn (which also controls the heating) and space for a dishwasher and washing machine.
Through the entrance hall you access a Snug or Dining Room, featuring a stunning and decorative Victorian fireplace, giving the room a characterful focal point. This room has versatility for a number of uses and leads through a further door to the Sitting Room.
A bright and welcoming Sitting Room, generously proportioned with a natural looking brick surround inset fireplace housing a wood burning stove, perfect for cosy winter evenings. The room has windows facing the side and front of the house, allowing natural light to flood in and there is convenient floor to ceiling shelving to the other end of the room.
From the Reception Hall, the stairs lead to the first floor landing, a corridor style landing with all rooms leading off it.
Firstly, you approach Bedroom 2, opposite the stairs, and this could also be used as the main bedroom if necessary. It is a well proportioned double room facing the front of the property with a pretty village outlook, and has the benefit of wooden fitted wardrobes, sympathetic to the property, offering good storage.
Opposite, Bedroom 3, a single room currently housing bunk beds, looks over the rear garden and would also make an ideal home office if necessary.
As you proceed along the landing two steps lead to Bedroom 1, with a similar view as Bedroom 2, a bright and welcoming space with a cottage ambiance and situated next to the Bathroom.
The Bathroom offers a large double shower unit with modern screen and attractive tiled splash backs, W.C and wash basin, with practical tiled flooring to compliment the natural design.
**Outside **
Crown Close has good frontage with a pleasant garden framing the house, mainly laid to lawn with attractive borders of colourful perennials and an ornamental Crab Apple Tree. The main entrance to the house is at the side and the bright blue gate leads into the rear garden and entrance to the house.
You are immediately struck by the raised gravelled terrace to the left with large, wooden pagoda and an old grape vine and climbing rose meandering through it creating a fantastic private space for summer entertaining. The garden feels both private and spacious with a large wooden shed / workshop offering a great opportunity for a variety of uses. A gravelled pathway to the middle with lawned area either side in addition to borders with specimen shrubs and mature plants. The path leads on to the rear of the garden and a private gate takes you to the communal parking area where there are two and a half specific spaces allocated to 4 Crown Close.
