Large house has first-floor living room, underfloor heating, four bedrooms and bathrooms and gardens

The owners bought it from a private builder who constructed it for his own occupation. They were attracted by its bright and spacious rooms, especially the living room which faces south overlooking the large private garden.

“This is actually our favourite spot now,” they revealed, “sitting looking out through the large picture window into the landscaped garden, with either a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a beer, depending on the time of day.”

The house has a large entrance hall with dado rail and attractive tiled floor. Doors lead to a ground-floor bedroom which features fitted furniture and quality en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating.

This complements a separate cloakroom and this floor is completed by a utility room which gives access to the integral double garage.

“The first floor houses the large modern kitchen living area which is a real selling point,” the owners said. It has quality appliances, underfloor heating and an excellent range of cabinets.

The sitting room, a shower room and a study/bedroom take up the rest of the first floor and there are two more bedrooms on the top floor, both with Velux-style windows and en-suite shower rooms.

“The large, attractive private garden with two large red cedar greenhouses is another highlight of this property,” said the owners,

“It is landscaped and contains eight beds with a wide variety of attractive shrubs and herbaceous perennial plants and a large level, flagged area providing lots of scope for barbecues and other outdoor entertainment.

“Plum, apple and pear trees produce an abundance of fruit each year. We will miss the garden which has given us such a lot of contentment every day of the year but we are moving to Leicestershire to be closer to children and grandchildren.”
