Built in the early 1950s, this FOUR BEDROOM, SEMI-DETACHED home offers over 2,200 sq ft of living space across THREE FLOORS. The previous owners had lived here since the house was built, and we purchased it in June 2018.The house enjoys an enviable position fronting the green and backing onto neighbouring gardens, creating a peaceful setting with excellent space for outdoor play.The entrance features a unique handmade, outward-opening German Klöber door, installed in late 2018 as part of the initial extension, which also included extending the garage, adding a downstairs cloakroom and creating a porch with coat and shoe storage. The garage has an electric door, lighting, power sockets and an EV charging point installed in September 2025.The ground floor features grey bamboo herringbone-style flooring throughout. The entrance hall leads to the downstairs cloakroom, snug and under-stairs storage. The snug is currently used as a music, art and games room and includes an occasional sofa bed.A mirrored door opens into the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, centred around an L-shaped German Schüller kitchen with integrated appliances, extensive storage, double ovens, plate warmers, internal sockets, pop-up counter socket, wine rack and induction hob with infrared extractor. The space also features a bespoke seating area and breakfast bar, underfloor heating, surround sound and a locally sourced log burner.An exposed anthracite-finished steel beam separates the dining and living areas. A concealed utility area provides an additional sink, washing machine, tumble dryer, second fridge-freezer and further coat and shoe storage. The kitchen/diner was completed and signed off by Building Control in 2021.Bi-fold doors open onto a beautifully maintained south-east-facing garden, offering a mix of sunshine and shade. A slate patio leads to a lawn surrounded by established planting, with mature trees including willow, silver birch, apple and damson. The garden also features a fire pit, shed and raised beds, plus two water points, two electrical points and side access from the front. The patio was completed in 2022.The first floor offers three double bedrooms, including a vaulted-ceiling bedroom with mezzanine and ensuite. Two further bedrooms have Jack & Jill storage cupboards, alongside a family bathroom with freestanding bath, ceramic tiling and seven-layer plywood bathroom panels. There is also an airing cupboard and separate water tank storage.The spacious master bedroom occupies the top floor and is accessed via a walk-in wardrobe, with a Vaillant boiler installed in 2019. The bedroom benefits from extensive under-eaves storage, a further ensuite with double shower and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. The top two floors were completed in 2019, along with most of the electrical and plumbing works.
All windows were replaced as part of the refurbishment with anthracite aluminium windows.
