The Property

This immaculately presented four-bedroom detached house occupies a desirable corner plot on a peaceful private road, offering a superb blend of modern family living and practical versatility. The property has been extensively modernised, featuring new high performance flush casement timber windows and a wealth of contemporary touches throughout. The spacious accommodation comprises four generous double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with stylish en suite, and a well appointed family bathroom. Two well proportioned reception rooms provide flexible living and entertaining spaces, complemented by a separate utility room for added convenience. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample storage and workspace, while the partially boarded loft offers further storage potential. Planning permission for a single-storey rear extension (now lapsed) presents an exciting opportunity for future expansion, subject to renewal. The double garage, with versatile home office or studio space to the rear, adds further functionality - perfect for remote working, creative pursuits or additional storage.

The outside space is equally impressive and thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The rear garden is accessible from several points within the house, including sliding doors from the main reception room that open directly onto a decked terrace - perfect for outdoor furniture and al fresco dining. The generous lawn gently rises to a further seating area, where stunning views across Bannerdown can be enjoyed, and is bordered by mature shrubs and established flower beds that provide year round interest and privacy. A gravelled area offers additional seating options, while a useful storage shed is positioned to the side of the garden.
