IF YOU LIVED HERE

You’d enjoy the space and light throughout this family home, which has a great layout and generous room sizes. From the moment you step through the front door you’re struck by the great flow and lovely natural light, with views straight through the two sets of double doors in the rear lounge to the leafy garden and beyond. There are three main living spaces on the ground floor: a large front living room, a rear lounge, and a separate kitchen diner. There’s also a spacious hallway and a handy WC.

The front living room is a tranquil retreat. This lovely square room has excellent natural light from a large square bay window to the front and a smaller side window, both of which are leaded. The rear living space is over 20 ft long, with full height glazed sliding doors giving garden views and access. Originally two rooms, this has space for both sofas and a large dining table. There’s also space for dining in the kitchen, which has an L-shape of wall and floor cabinets, a mix of integrated and freestanding appliances, a window with garden views, and a door to the garden.

Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms and a single bedroom. There’s also a family bathroom and a walk-in storage cupboard. All bedrooms have lovely leafy views: the main and single bedroom at the front of the house faces the forest and are east-facing so get the morning sun, whilst the second bedroom is at the rear, with leafy views over the back garden and beyond. All three rooms have bespoke built-in bedroom storage.

Outside there’s a paved front garden, and a 70 ft west-facing back garden with a brick garage at the end. There’s both side and rear access to the property, which sits on a plot that is elevated at the front. The garden is terraced, with steps down from a paved patio adjacent to the house to a lawn with planted borders and a lower terrace in front of the garage.
