Semi-detached house for sale in Hanstone Road, Stourport-On-Severn DY13

A high-quality traditional home that has undergone the most comprehensive renovations by the current owners, boasting a plot directly bordering a green space at the rear and with planning permission for a two-storey extension.

Description

This property is truly an exceptional home and certainly one of the best you will find in this price range. The current owners have undertaken the most comprehensive renovations possible since purchasing in 2020, transforming what was a very basic post-war property into a high-quality family home that is turnkey ready. During their ownership, no expense has been spared on the alterations, with the following long list of improvements: Replastering and redecorating throughout, along with rewiring and a new central heating system; the addition of a high-quality kitchen featuring a full range of fitted appliances, granite work surfaces and sills; the renovation of adjoining outbuildings to create a contemporary ground floor wet room and accompanying utility room, which also feature granite tops and sills. On the first floor, the two double bedrooms have been refurbished and are serviced by a refitted bathroom with fitted furniture. Outside, the owners have dropped the kerb with full planning permission and gone on to create an extensive driveway that is gravelled and block-paved, enclosed by low-level walling with electrics in place to add gates if required. There is also an excellent opportunity to build a 20 x 30 ft garage in the bottom left corner of the garden.

If any prospective purchasers are keen to follow in the footsteps of these owners, it is important to know that planning permission was obtained in November 2022 for a two-storey side extension. The sellers inform us that the plans can be adapted, and details can be found on the Wyre Forest District Council planning page using the postcode or reference 22/0897/hou.

The property is beautifully set back from the roadside behind an extensive driveway that can accommodate many vehicles, including motorhomes, trailers, camper vans, and the like.

From the driveway, the property is accessed via a front door that leads to a hallway featuring tiled flooring, a grey designer radiator, stairs rising to the first floor with storage/dog cage underneath, and doors leading to the kitchen and living room.

The light and airy living room is centered around an inset fireplace with granite and an inset wood burner by Talltrees. Above the fireplace is an oak mantle, and either side are useful wall-mounted log stores. The living room also features a vertical grey designer radiator, and a window to the front aspect.

Positioned at the rear of the ground floor, the spacious family kitchen overlooks the garden and has a door leading outside. This well-appointed kitchen offers plenty of space for a table and chairs and has been refitted to a stylish and high-quality finish. It is fully equipped with several modern appliances, including an induction hob and accompanying extractor, double oven and grill, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge. Enhancing the aesthetics are a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units, granite work surfaces and windowsills, as well as downlighters and a sleek grey vertical designer radiator.

A door from the kitchen leads to an adjoining utility room and wet room, the former having granite work surfaces and sills, wall and base units, downlighters, tiled flooring, space and plumbing for appliances, a wall-mounted combination boiler, and a grey towel radiator.

From the utility room, a sliding door accesses the fully tiled wet room, beautifully finished in a contemporary style and comprising a fully tiled shower area, a grey towel radiator, downlighters, and a vanity unit/WC combo.

This green space is great for dog walking, with footpaths leading down to the riverside and featuring a children's play area.
