Property description
THE PROPERTY This superbly presented and substantially extended, mature semi-detached house was built some 50 years ago of reconstituted Cotswold stone on a very pleasant corner plot in this quiet and established residential area within a short walking distance of the town centre.
The completely refurbished accommodation consists of entrance hall with staircase to landing. The original dining room now makes for a very attractive music/playroom, and the lounge has a large south facing bay window opposite the handsome feature fireplace. The most dramatic improvement to the house is the extended kitchen/dining room with its very smart range of high gloss white units under walnut work surfaces, and breakfast bar. The kitchen includes integrated dishwasher and automatic washing machine and space for a range oven and an American style fridge/freezer. This room has aluminium double glazed bi-fold doors onto the beautifully landscaped rear garden. Also on the ground floor is an inner lobby leading to a downstairs WC, and half of the newly built integral garage is currently used as a utility room with the other half being good storage for bikes and lawnmower etc.
At first floor level the attractive galleried landing has a window to the front aspect, the master bedroom at the rear has a very smart en-suite shower room and both built-in and fitted wardrobes. The guest/second bedroom also has a fitted double wardrobe and even bedrooms three and four are above average in size and certainly provide ample space for a double bed in the third bedroom and possibly the fourth. The family bathroom has a luxurious atmosphere, again with a smart white suite.
The house has the benefit of a gas fired radiator central system with a modern Worcester boiler, all the windows are uPVC double glazed items and the gardens which are arranged to the front, side and rear of the house incorporates a very useful work from home office and Wendy house to the rear. At the side is a gravelled parking area for two cars, and a well-tended garden to front is laid to lawn with flower borders behind a reconstituted stone wall. Immediately outside the bi-fold doors in the kitchen/dining room there is an area of decking and hard landscaping above a feature ornamental pond.
