Property description
An unusual approach to this home is by a small track on the left of Newton Avenue, immediately on the right is a garage with York Stone steps leading up through a rockery planted with trees and shrubs. This leads to the glazed entrance porch of the house. A partial glazed door takes you into the main living area.
A large bay window provides fantastic views of the Upper Don Valley and beyond. A modern light feel to this room is created by the décor and contemporary fire suite set onto the chimney breast, with contemporary cupboards to either side. From here through French doors you go into a light, spacious and contemporary kitchen diner. Split half and half the large dining area is carpeted and has pleasing views through the rear facing window to the adorable landscaped garden. The kitchen area has a tiled floor and a range of contemporary units, another window facing the garden. This is a light and sociable area that can be used day and evening for chatting, relaxing and dining, clearly the very heart of the home.
A partial glazed door takes you out to a large decked patio area, there is a wide space at the side of the house which is fenced and gated hence offering privacy and security. York stone steps lead to a gravelled area planted with shrubs and has a peaceful water feature shadowed by an adorable Acer. The next tier opens to an oval lawn and small herb garden and careful planting of shrubs, the next tier of the garden is similar, having an oval lawn and plenty of planting areas. At the top of the garden is a useful tool shed and compost area. The peace and tranquillity of this garden in very calming, a haven for birdlife and wildlife. Completely enclosed and with views over the hillside and an amazing skyline.
Back to the house and you take the open stair from the living room to the landing and the master bedroom. A front facing window offers fantastic open views again, light floods through the room during the day and a cosy retreat by night. The second bedroom is certainly a double bedroom, there are fitted wardrobes running the length of the room enclosed with sliding doors. The window facing the rear looks directly over the garden making this a very light and peaceful room. The third bedroom is currently used as an office and studio but would ideally lend itself to a child’s nursery or single bedroom. The front facing window offers plenty of light. The bathroom is fully tiled, a contemporary suite offers a corner spa bath with shower above, toilet, sink.
In whole this is a delightful and private house. The track at the front leads to a wooded area and onto open countryside and moorland, ideal for walking and escaping from it all. Underbank reservoir is minutes away and offers walking and water sports, a short drive will take you to the motorway, making this the ideal place to commute and to return to the peace and countryside.
