Kerb appeal is often talked about but rarely found in a property. It always amazes me that when people renovate properties, more often than not, all the time and money is spent on the inside. The outside is at best an afterthought. We are naturally drawn to beautiful things. And this property, in my opinion, is beautiful.
Ahead of the curve when it came to remodelling, this home has been transformed from an ugly duckling to a beautiful Stratford swan. The transformation starts with the outside and continues throughout the house with internal fitments are of the highest standard. A lot of thought has also gone into making the home as energy efficient as possible. The EPC B-rating is one of the best you can achieve for a property of this age and is down to the high level of insulation, the quality of the heating system, windows, external doors, light fittings and solar panels.
Sitting proudly in its plot and set back from the road, this property is arguably the perfect modern family home. The town centre is just 0.8 miles away, the local school is round the corner, a range of excellent amenities are on your doorstep and yet the property is located in a quiet road where other residents are your only passers-by – what more do you want from a location?
The house, originally built in 1959, has been skilfully extended and remodelled to offer the perfect turnkey solution for a busy family. Probably your hardest decision on moving in will be where to put your furniture. The house is arranged over two floors; however, the large loft space does offer further scope to extend should you need more space. You enter via the reception hall, which acts as the central hub from which all rooms are accessed. To the left is a good-sized dining room: a versatile room that could be used as a second sitting room, playroom, or home office. The front aspect walk-in bay window floods the room with natural light. Behind the dining room is the sitting room, which has great proportions. The retro Chesney log burner is undoubtedly the talking point of the room and you can imagine getting lost in the dancing flames on a cold winter’s night. The French doors give access to and offer a great vista over the garden. We all know that the kitchen sells a house. This kitchen is most certainly going to be a major factor in your purchasing decision. With views of the garden and doors out onto the patio, it perfectly balances style and substance with an extensive range of units and fitted appliances that offer a place for everything. The two-tone colour scheme finish it off a treat. A cleverly designed oversized breakfast bar offers an ideal spot for an informal catch-up with friends. Beyond this, there’s space for a sofa and table and chairs. The utility room offers the perfect spot to keep those noisy appliances out of earshot. As you work your way back round to the front of the house, you find a fully-fitted home office, ideal now that more people are working from home, and a downstairs cloakroom.
To the first floor are four genuine double bedrooms -- no box room, so no arguing about who gets the bigger room! An added feature of this property is the two en-suite shower rooms, rarely found in houses of this period, there is also a recently refitted family bathroom. Even though the property has been extended it's still blessed with a really good-sized garden and patio for entertaining, ideal for families with children of all ages. The garden is well-stocked and mature providing privacy and seclusion. To the front of the property is a block-paved driveway, which provides ample parking for 4 to 5 cars.
All mains services are connected.
