3 bed detached house for sale

Carnation Drive, Saffron Walden, Essex CB10

26 carnation drive is an impeccably presented detached home located in this popular tucked away development on the east side of Saffron Walden, yet within easy each of the towns' main centre, wide ranging amenities and nearby schooling. The property has been enlarged and improved over the years creating, what is now, an impressive home with individual styling which belies what might be expected by a cursory glance at its exterior.

The front door opens into a wide entrance hall where a ground floor cloakroom sits off to one side and stairs rise to the first floor. The principal sitting area features a fireplace with fitted electric fire, double glazed window to the front and bi-folding doors opening to the rear, both drawing in good amounts of natural light. A wide opening leads to the kitchen/dining room with the two areas combining to create one large open-plan area, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen itself is well appointed with granite worktops and a range of storage cupboards with a high gloss finish, island incorporating a breakfast bar and a range of fitted appliances including 2 ovens and warming drawer, electric hob with extractor fan over and space for dishwasher. There are further bi-folding doors opening to the rear garden with two additional Velux windows overhead, again drawing in a large amount of natural light. The utility room adjoins the kitchen providing further worktops, storage cupboards, sink unit and space for additional appliances. There is a double glazed window looking out to the front and door to the side.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to 3 generously proportioned bedrooms; each with built-in wardrobes and served by a primary bathroom containing a 3-piece suite which is in addition to a completely separate shower room, also placed just off the landing.

Outside, there is an adjacent driveway to one side of the property providing off-street parking space, this in turn leading to a single garage. The gardens to the rear form a broad L-shape, having been thoughtfully landscaped and planted with an extensive range of flowers and shrubs complementing a small area of lawn and sheltered patio which provides ideal space for outside entertaining.
