Description
12 Barlows Road is a traditional detached house with accommodation set over two floors extending in all to approximately 2,765 sq ft (257 sq m). The property is very well maintained and presented but would benefit from some general modernisation in parts. There is also excellent scope for extensions, subject to the necessary consents.
The property is entered via a uPVC double glazed porch with an inner front door leading into the reception hall. There is a useful under stairs cloaks cupboard, and a separate guest cloakroom WC.
There are four reception rooms in all including a cosy living room, a spacious sitting room with beautiful views of the garden, a dining room, and a breakfast room off the kitchen for less formal dining. Additionally there is a double glazed conservatory off the breakfast room which provides access to the garden and also links to the adjacent sitting room. The kitchen is a generous size and has a range of fitted base and wall mounted units and a door leading into the utility room with further fitted units and space and plumbing for a washing machine. A door from the utility room leads to the garden, and another door leads into one of the two garages.
On the first floor are four excellent bedrooms (two facing the front and two facing the rear). The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a large en suite with corner bath, separate shower enclosure, WC, and twin wash basins set into a fitted vanity unit. The other three bedrooms are served by a house bathroom which has bath, large shower enclosure, WC, and wash basin.
Outside
To the front is a wide in and out driveway providing off road parking for several cars. There are two single garages, one to either side of the house. To the rear is a fabulous south-facing garden which has been beautifully maintained and includes a substantial paved terrace, a large lawn flanked by mature borders, ornamental pond, and an orchard area to the far end with apple trees, vegetable patch, greenhouse, timber shed, and compost area. We have measured the total plot to be in the order of 0.34 acre.
