Impressive, stylishly presented family home set in a prime location
Description
15 Betenson Avenue is a beautifully presented detached family home built in 1939 with a later extension by the current owners, located in this popular residential part of town. The stylish, versatile and well-proportioned accommodation is immaculately presented throughout and ideal for entertaining and modern family living. Salient points include modern kitchen and bathroom suites, attractive fireplaces, wood floors, an established rear garden, integral garage and driveway parking. The property benefits from lapsed planning permission for a two storey rear extension (19/02778/HOUSE), and is within the catchment area for the popular Riverhead and Amherst schools. Also of note is the proximity to the station (0.9 miles by foot path), High Street and Bradbourne Lakes (approx. 0.4 miles), which feature scenic footpaths around a series of ornamental lakes.
The reception rooms comprise a spacious sitting room with a square bay window, bespoke wooden shutters and an attractive fireplace, and a dining room with a lovely view over the rear garden. A study also has an attractive feature fireplace, together with door access to the rear terrace.
The bright kitchen/breakfast room has a set of doors opening to the rear terrace, and is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, an integral oven by AEG and space for other appliances.
A well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor, and from the entrance hall there is access to the garage.
Arranged over the first floor is the principal bedroom which is served by a stylish en suite shower room, with twin basins.
There are four further double bedrooms, one with a double aspect, one with a large bay window and another currently utilised as an office/sitting room.
A modern family bathroom with a separate shower completes the accommodation.
The rear garden provides a lovely backdrop, with a wide variety of mature herbaceous shrubs and deciduous trees to the boundaries providing a high degree of privacy. A paved terrace spans the width of the property and is ideal for al fresco entertaining. A set of steps leads to a shaped area of level lawn, with well-stocked borders filled with roses, specimen trees and laurel shrubs.
The property is approached via a brick driveway, leading to the integral garage and flanked on each side by a low level brick wall and mixed evergreen hedging.
