DESCRIPTION
Leonards Gate is a small development at the southern tip of the village built by Messrs Cala Homes circa 2018/19. Number 5 is in a terrace and backs onto open countryside that provides a wonderful view, particularly from the first floor of the house.
The beautifully presented accommodation benefits from LED downlighting pretty much throughout and the owners added a conservatory approximately two years ago thus there are now two reception rooms, the conservatory which overlooks the garden has a porcelain floor. At the entrance is a hall and staircase and off to the right a cloakroom with a wc and wash basin. There is a useful coats and boots cupboard that has an automatic light and the halls grey tiled floor also adorns the cloakroom and continues into the kitchen/dining room.
The kitchen is fitted in dove grey soft close units and white quartz worktops. Integrated are a slimline dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washer dryer, oven and gas hob, and all the appliances except the washer/dryer are Bosch, including the brushed chrome extractor hood above the hob.
Upstairs the landing is a good size and has a closet. Two bedrooms occupy the front, one a double and the other a nice single, both served by a very smart bathroom that has a tiled floor and walls, large mirror, and a shower over the bath.
The main bedroom (with 2 wardrobes built in) really benefits from the rural aspect and enjoys great views and there is an excellent ensuite shower room.
We are informed the loft has a light, extra insulation and is roughly 80 boarded.
