3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Is outside space what’s most important in your move? Do you need off-road parking for 3-4 cars? This is a 1991 built home, with 3 bedrooms and a twist. The existing owners purchased an additional parcel of land which has resulted in a beautifully landscaped garden with a view…

Much loved by the existing owners since new, this property has a warm and welcoming feeling of home. To the front there is a covered storm porch which leads into an entrance hallway. On the left hand side of the home is a compact kitchen with space for a tall fridge/freezer, plumbing for a washing machine and a dishwasher which are included in the sale. The 17’ sitting/dining room, which has the potential of an open fire, has sliding doors into the rear garden, which really brings the outside in. The dining room is adjacent to the staircase, creating a separate area for eating, with the use of strategic furniture positioning (see floorplan).

Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, two doubles and a single/study. The master has plenty of built in storage units. The 3pc family bathroom has a panelled bathtub with electric shower over as well as a built in storage cupboard which houses the water tank. The loft hatch is accessed from the landing and has a pull down ladder, light, is boarded and has the potential to extend into, subject to any necessary planning consent. This would provide you with elevated field views. The property also boasts a brand new central heating boiler, plus a hot water tank.

We believe this home is particularly suited to a young couple/family or retiree who is looking to downsize or perhaps relocate to the area. The home is ready to move into but has the potential to put your own stamp on it cosmetically, over time.

The current owners have spent £15,000 extending and landscaping the South facing garden. Fully enclosed with timber fencing and framed by evergreen trees and shrubs, there are a number of different man-made areas which are lit up at night. Additionally there is a small, central lawn with a timber framed shed with power and light. Attached to the side are two bird boxes under observation from secret wildlife cameras which the vendors will leave for the new owners to enjoy. Following on from this is the wildlife pond, which is gently sloped and has a rock surround making it ideal for frogs, three spine sticklebacks and smooth newts. A waterfall powered by solar energy, helps maintain the water balance. Take a step down to the private, paved seating area, were you will find a Victorian style, working water pump with adjoining 1000 litre water tank. The vendor tells us he discovered the water table whilst installing a soakaway and that ‘’you can draw up to 1000 litres of water per day with no cost’’. This is used to top up the pond and water the garden all year round.

Sit on the decking or inside the summerhouse and take in the un-obstructed views over the water meadow from an elevated position. Look out for fox, pheasants, buzzard, red-kite, muntjac and sheep on the field behind, or stargaze at night over the meadow which is completely dark and has no public light pollution.
