4 bed detached house for sale

Whalebone Wood Road, Pease Pottage, Crawley, West Sussex RH11

Beautifully presented detached house with garaging and garden

Description
Occupying an enviable position on a quiet cul-de-sac, and enjoying an open outlook to the front, this beautifully presented four bedroom detached home was built by Redrow Homes in 2015, as part of their Arts and Crafts inspired Heritage Collection, characterised by partially tile hung elevations, bay windows and white render.

Today, the property offers stylish and versatile accommodation complemented by a double garage and fully enclosed rear garden.

The welcoming entrance hall is bright and spacious, benefiting from several useful storage cupboards and a cloakroom, and providing access to the principal reception areas. The elegant sitting room is generously proportioned, with clean lines and a bay window that fills the room with natural light. At the rear of the house, the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room spans the rear elevation; it is divided into three distinct areas, and offers flexible living space which can be adapted to a range of needs.

The well-equipped kitchen forms the central section. It has an excellent range of wall-hung and under-counter cabinetry, complemented by granite worktops, with a breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances. Tiled flooring extends throughout the whole impressive open plan area; the dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and enjoys direct access to the garden through sliding doors. At the opposite end, a second reception space offers versatility for use as a sitting room, playroom or home office, and has sliding doors onto the garden, creating an excellent space for entertaining.

A practical utility room provides additional storage and appliance space, together with access to the garden, the integrated double garage and a useful understairs storage cupboard. The double garage itself benefits from extensive shelving, fluorescent lighting and houses the gas boiler.

A striking half-turn oak staircase rises to the first-floor galleried landing, around which are arranged four generous bedrooms, together with the family bathroom and airing cupboard.

The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive suite, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and contemporary en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is currently arranged to accommodate both bedroom and study requirements. At the rear, bedrooms three and four are both spacious rooms; the fourth bedroom is ideal for guests, with a fitted wardrobe and an en suite shower room. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over, and all bath/shower rooms are fitted with quality sanitary ware.

Outside, a substantial block-paved driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the double garage. The attractive front garden is laid to lawn and bordered by lavender hedging and rose beds.

The rear garden is fully enclosed by fencing, and mainly laid to level lawn, with a wide terrace spanning the rear elevation, which provides space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A secure gate leads to the front of the house.
