A generously proportioned detached family house in a sought after cul-de-sac close to the city, approximately half a mile from the station and in catchment for great local schools. There is a pleasing balance between reception spaces and bedrooms, and with all the practical space one could need, this is the perfect family house.

The property is entered via a covered porch with the front door opening into a fantastic central hall, which in turn gives access to the reception rooms and kitchen. The sitting room occupies one end of the house - a lovely, light space due to its triple aspect, with French doors at the rear opening onto the garden. The dining room is open plan with the sitting-room and combined they form an L-shape. A door leads from the dining area back into the hallway and there is a useful serving hatch through to the kitchen. The kitchen itself has fitted units providing ample storage with space for appliances. A door opens onto the family room which has windows to the front and rear as well as a door opening onto the garden giving it separate external access. This space has been used by the previous owners to provide an additional bedroom which, coupled with the downstairs shower room, creates a perfect space for overnight guests or for those needing accommodation all at ground-floor level.

Stairs ascend to the first floor where there are four good bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is an excellent size with views over the garden. There are three further bedrooms, two of which have built-in storage solutions, and the family bathroom has a bath with shower over.

Outside to the front of the property there is a neat, open-plan garden alongside the driveway, which provides off-road parking leading to the garage. There is side access to the rear of the house where the well-maintained garden is mainly laid to lawn with shrub and tree borders and a paved patio providing a perfect outside dining area.
