DESCRIPTION
Situated within a short, level walk of the city centre, this spacious four-bedroom period terraced home has been thoughtfully extended to create a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family space along with a separate sitting room. The property benefits from a south-facing garden and off-road parking, making it an ideal family home.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a bright and welcoming sitting room to the front, featuring a square bay window overlooking the front garden, allowing natural light to flood the space. To the rear, the property has been extended to provide an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, forming the true heart of the home. This versatile space enjoys an abundance of natural light and is finished with oak flooring throughout. The seating area offers a cosy space with a wood-burning stove as its focal point, along with useful understairs storage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream gloss units topped with wooden worktops, and benefits from an integrated undercounter fridge and dishwasher, along with space for a range cooker. The dining area, enhanced by two Velux windows above, comfortably accommodates a table for eight to ten people, making it ideal for entertaining. To the rear, a useful utility room and a modern shower room are accessed, the latter comprising a large shower cubicle, WC, wash basin and heated towel radiator. A glazed door from the dining area leads out to a fenced rear section currently used for storage, with a gate providing access to the driveway beyond.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are generous doubles, with one positioned to the front enjoying a pleasant southerly aspect over the garden, while the second double overlooks the rear. The third bedroom, also to the rear, is a spacious single or small double and is currently arranged as a home office with a desk and single bed. The family bathroom comprises a ‘P’ shaped bath with shower over, WC, wash basin and a heated towel radiator. Stairs rise to the second floor, where a further double bedroom can be found. This well-sized room benefits from a Velux window, allowing for plenty of natural light, along with useful eaves storage.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is the main garden, facing south it benefits from all day long sunshine. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, but has a divided patio area ideal for outside furniture for entertaining. At the rear is a fenced storage area and a gate leading to the driveway with parking for two cars.
