Property insight
A spacious extended 5-bedroom semi-detached family home, quietly positioned in a cul-de-sac in the village of Tonwell.

Updated throughout by the current owners and set on a generous plot backing onto open countryside, this property offers accommodation extending to over 1,700 sq ft, with a dual-aspect lounge/dining room, a second reception room, a refitted kitchen, a garden room, 5 bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal, a family bathroom, a downstairs shower room, driveway parking and excellent further scope to extend (STPP).

On approach, the property enjoys a neat frontage framed by established hedging, with a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking and an electric car charging point. Once inside, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with attractive herringbone flooring, stairs to the first floor, and doors through to the ground-floor living space.

The lounge/dining room is an excellent size and benefits from a dual aspect, with a bay window to the front and French doors opening onto the rear garden, filling the space with natural light. It enjoys wood-effect flooring and ample room for both lounge and dining furniture, making it a great space for family living and entertaining. A second reception room offers further flexibility, ideal as a snug, playroom or formal sitting room, with a bay window to the front.

The kitchen has been refitted to a lovely standard, with a range of shaker-style units, quartz worktops, a Belfast sink, a range cooker and herringbone flooring, along with space for an American-style fridge/freezer. Adjoining is a garden room, a useful spot connecting the kitchen to the outside and ideal as a boot room or for everyday storage.

Upstairs to the first floor, the property continues to offer generous accommodation, with 5 bedrooms and a family bathroom comprising a bath, a separate shower, a WC and a hand wash basin. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and versatile, suiting children's rooms, guest space or a home office.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular highlight, enjoying a substantial size and a lovely open outlook over the countryside beyond. There is a paved patio area directly off the house, ideal for garden furniture and al fresco dining, with the remainder laid mainly to lawn and bordered by mature hedging and shrubs. The generous plot offers plenty of scope for new owners to enjoy as it is, or to extend further subject to the relevant permissions (STPP).
