Property description

A modern Victorian style double fronted four bedroom detached house with a detached double garage with driveway parking and a separate home office on the edge of Fairfield Park.

The house was built by Bovis Homes and the current owners have lived there since new in 2010. The enclosed garden has been landscaped to create a relaxing and labour-saving paved space for entertaining with an enclosed raised seating area with slate chippings and raised borders with a range of mature shrubs and fruit trees. There are canted bay windows at the front of the house on both floors. The house itself offers approximately 2,140 sq. ft. of accommodation set over two floors. The ground floor includes an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor landing, a sitting room, a study/games room, and a family room. There is also an L-shaped kitchen/dining room, a utility room which has a door to the side, and a cloakroom. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and a family bathroom. There is off street parking for four cars in front of the double garage with an EV charging point.

Kitchen/Dining Room

The triple aspect kitchen/dining room was refitted a year ago and has a range of modern cabinets with wooden work surfaces and a matching island. Appliances include a multi-function combination oven and microwave, a ceramic hob with a vented extractor, a dishwasher, and an Insta View French style fridge/freezer with water chiller and an ice maker, and a wine cooler. There is a butler’s sink and ceramic floor tiles. A set of French doors in the dining area leads to the rear garden via a covered pergola-like decked seating area.

Hall and Reception Rooms

The entrance hall has LVT wood effect flooring and double glazed doors and windows. The central hall has access to the three separate reception rooms and the kitchen/dining room. The sitting room and family room both have canted bay windows at the front with fitted shutters, and there is a separate games room/study with a window at the side. The sitting room also has French doors to the outside covered decked seating area.

First Floor

The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, and double glazed windows to the side and rear. The en suite has a shower, a vanity wash basin, a WC, and tiled flooring. Both bedrooms at the front have shuttered canted bay windows and bedroom two has built-in wardrobes. The bathroom, with metro wall tiling, has a freestanding bath with a shower attachment and a double glazed frosted sash window at the front. The en suite shower room and the bathroom have newly fitted suites.

Situation and Schooling

The property is in catchment for Ofsted Outstanding Fairfield Park Lower School and Ofsted Good upper and middle schools.
