Royal Way is part of the Abode development built by Countryside Properties and designed by Proctor and Matthews Architects. Its mix of striking architecture, carefully considered design and practical, contemporary living, helped the development and architect to win the 'Royal Institute of British Architects', East Building of the Year Award for 2015.
The front door opens into a bright and inviting entrance hall, complete with a storage cupboard ideal for coats and shoes, as well as a convenient downstairs W/C. At one end of the home, you'll find a dining room, while a high-specification kitchen sits centrally, with a cosy sitting room at the rear. All these spaces feature elegant wooden flooring other than the kitchen which has stylish tiles. The living room is bathed in natural light from its triple-aspect windows and offers views of the gardens, while the dining room also overlooks and provides access to the rear garden. The kitchen is well-equipped with base and wall-mounted units, generous work surfaces, and integrated appliances, including a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, water softener, fridge freezer, dishwasher, double electric oven, and ceramic hob.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is spacious and bright, featuring an en-suite bathroom with high-quality fittings that match the main bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms, and the landing area is smartly utilized as a work/study space.
In front of the house, there's a single parking space surrounded and mature shrubs and hedges.
The rear garden enjoys a sunny aspect and is enclosed by a brick wall and high fence, making it perfect for entertaining. A large bike shed/bin store offers convenient storage and access to Royal Way.
There is a yearly maintenance charge for the maintenance of the green areas on the development. This is currently just under £95 per year.
