Guide Price £425,000 - £450,000.Offered to the market with no upward chain, this generously extended detached home has been cherished by the same family since 1957, evolving thoughtfully over the years to create a flexible and welcoming space that caters to modern living while retaining a strong sense of warmth and character. Originally extended in the 1960s, then again in 2002 with the addition of the ‘west wing’, and most recently in 2014 with the bespoke kitchen, the property offers versatile accommodation across two floors, making it ideal for families or those needing multi-functional living space.
The entrance hallway immediately sets a calm and spacious tone, providing access to a welcoming lounge enhanced by parquet-style flooring and a large bay window fitted with custom shutters. At the end of the hallway lies the heart of the home - a beautifully extended dining kitchen. Expertly designed with handmade solid wood cabinetry and a distinctive curved feature wall, this space seamlessly blends elegance with functionality. Acrylic worktops span generous preparation areas, complemented by a ceramic tiled splashback, a ceramic hob and a striking roof lantern that floods the room with natural light. Underfloor heating beneath the flooring ensures warmth and comfort year-round. Integrated appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, Liebherr fridge and contemporary Fisher and Paykel hob, oven, cooker hood, all contribute to the kitchen's clean and refined aesthetic. At its centre, a dedicated dining area encourages family connection, truly making this the social hub of the home.
A separate, generously sized utility room off the kitchen keeps daily tasks discreet, offering additional storage, plumbing and access to the front garden and parking area. This ensures the kitchen remains an inviting, clutter-free space, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A well-appointed WC adds further convenience to the ground floor layout.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile reception room, currently arranged as a sitting and dining area, suited to a variety of uses. This space connects to a spacious conservatory through sliding frosted-glass doors adorned with a striking Japanese scene and adjustable lighting. The conservatory, finished with underfloor heating, features French doors that open out to the garden, creating a seamless extension of the living area.
Just off the sitting/dining room is an additional reception room, ideal for quiet moments, reading or use as a private 4th ground floor bedroom, gym or home office. Thoughtfully integrated mood lighting and the open flow back to the conservatory lend a cohesive, considered feel to the entire ground floor - balancing comfort, practicality and style.
Upstairs, the carpeted landing is naturally bright thanks to a front elevation window, and leads in two directions. To the right, two spacious double bedrooms overlook the front of the property.
The principal bedroom benefits from full-length built-in wardrobes and a large UPVC window with fitted custom blinds, offering both space and privacy.
The second bedroom also features a suite of fitted wardrobes by Sharps, providing generous storage adding to the utility and comfort of the room.
The landing also leads to an adaptable home office area that connects through to a further room - the third bedroom - which is currently used as a guest room and second office. This additional space features a skylight and built-in wardrobes, giving it the potential to serve as a bedroom, dressing room or creative studio depending on your needs.
The main bathroom has been fitted with a contemporary four-piece suite including a bath, WC, bidet and washbasin whilst adjoining is an additional shower room for further convenience, fitted with a white three-piece suite.
Outside, the hard-landscaped rear garden has been carefully designed to be low-maintenance while offering real privacy and year-round appeal. A broad patio provides plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining or unwinding with a book, and it’s surrounded by an array of mature trees, shrubs, and bushes that create a lush and secluded feel. There's also a useful annexe-style shed - perfect for gardening tools or even a small workshop.
The property is warmed by a gas combi boiler and benefits from modern comforts throughout, including underfloor heating in the kitchen and conservatory. Every extension and update has been carried out with long-term family life in mind, preserving the integrity and warmth of a home that has clearly been loved.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly adaptable and wonderful home in a well-established area. Situated close to a wide range of local amenities, reputable schools and public transport links, it’s perfectly placed for both convenience and quality of life.
