Introduction & Approach

Occupying a corner plot at the beginning of Warren Croft, this extended home will delight all families and especially those seeking lots of reception space. The house is set back from Warren Croft behind a bock-paved driveway that provides off-road parking for three to four cars. The driveway precedes and integral garage with electric door that offers a further space. Beside the garage to the left is a side passageway that leads to the rear garden, having a secure gate midway along. This also offers a secluded spot for bin storage. Completing the frontage is a patch of lawn that features shrubbery in the centre to enhance the initial appearance.

The rear garden begins with more block paving that is laid around the rear of building, ending at an area of modern composite decking, perfect for an outdoor furniture set. The lawn is landscaped to a slightly higher level with steps leading up. Set within this is pond (currently drained) with wooden bridge over that enables access to a slabbed patio at the far corner. There are two wooden sheds that will be left as part of the sale and there is a combination of brick wall and wooden fencing to the boundaries to keep the garden private.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home into a generous carpeted hallway that has plenty of room to remove coats and shoes. From here there are doors leading off to a guest WC with wash basin, dining room, lounge, and kitchen. To the left of the hallway, beyond the guest WC, is the winding staircase up to the first floor that has a handy storage cupboard underneath.

The dining room is the first of three reception rooms in this home. Although the smallest, it is very generous in size owing to a lovely bay window at the front. The largest reception room is the lounge which is a vast open space with a feature electric fireplace mounted to the chimney breast. At the rear of the lounge is a set of double bi-folding doors that open to the conservatory, providing a lovely spot to relax with panoramic views of the garden. A set of French doors allow access outside. To the right of the lounge is the superb family room, which is a large extension built right to the boundary maximising the space available and has another set of French doors that open out to the garden decking.

The kitchen is very impressive as it has been extended behind to garage to provide a large open space with a curved central island. This island incorporates a low-level fridge and separate freezer to the rear, with a breakfast bar to the front and spotlighting above. The remaining suite is fitted to both sides and rear of the kitchen and include a four-ring electric hob, electric oven with grill, dishwasher, and space with plumbing for a washing machine. There are plenty of storage units with some having display glass. To the left of the kitchen are doors to the front leading into the garage and at the rear to exit to the garden.

First Floor

Moving up the carpeted staircase leads viewers to a gallery landing with shallow window that allows a surprising amount of natural light. The landing narrows to a corridor and has a wide storage cupboard that houses the hot water tank. The system boiler feeding this tank is secluded within the kitchen suite. Doors from the landing lead off to two double bedrooms, two single bedrooms and the family bathroom. The loft hatch is positioned above the top of the stairwell.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house above the dining room and therefore has a continuation of the lovely bay window below. There is a range of fitted furniture that includes wardrobes, drawers, and a window seat. At the rear of the bedroom is a door to a fabulous en suite bathroom that comprises of a bathtub with shower and glass screen fitted over, a large wash basin sat atop a cabinet, wall mounted mirrored cabinet, toilet, and a chrome heated towel rail. The suite is complemented by complete tiling to the walls.

Bedrooms two and three include fitted wardrobe furniture with bedroom four being an open space that could also be well served as a home office.
