Spacious 4 bedroom semi-detached house with large garden, parking for 2-3 cars, double garage, generous kitchen/dining room, separate living room, utility room, study and master bed with en-suite.
This super family home is a 1930s semi-detached house which has been extended and upgraded by the current owners to create a surprisingly spacious, 4 bedroom home plus study, which is ready to move straight into and enjoy. Set at the head of a cul-de-sac, off Ravenswood Avenue in the St James’ area of the town and enjoying a peaceful location which is still within easy reach of all the town amenities, schooling for all ages and commuter links.
The entrance hall welcomes you in, with a glimpse of the expansive living space. There is a separate sitting room at the front, with bay window, creating a cosy atmosphere with an open fire, picture rail and elegant plantation shutters. The real WOW factor comes from the kitchen though, with the room extending to 28’7”, providing plenty of space for entertaining a crowd sat at a large dining table and still leaving space for relaxed seating too. The kitchen has a great range of storage, with Corian worksurfaces and an island unit with breakfast bar and underfloor heating for comfort. There is an integrated dishwasher and microwave, together with space for an American-style fridge/freezer, wine fridge and range cooker, which may be available by separate negotiation. This fabulous room has a large roof lantern and bi-fold doors across the far end, flooding the room with light and creating a seamless connection with a decked terrace for meals outdoors and the views over the garden and trees beyond make it easy to forget you are in a town. There is a separate utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as having additional storage and access into the double garage/workshop. The garage/workshop has potential for conversion/part conversion, with doors to the rear garden and pipework installed to enable the fitting of radiators. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor, with space to store coats and shoes.
Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys views over the gardens and is a generous double room with dressing area featuring fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There is a further large double room to the front with a bay window and to the rear and the fourth bedroom is an irregular shape and works well as a generous single with plenty of space for other furniture. The family bathroom features a shower over the bath and there is also a study to complete the first floor accommodation. We understand that there is planning consent to convert the loft space for additional bedrooms, if required in the future.
Outside, there is driveway parking for up to 3 cars on the driveway, leading to the integral double garage/workshop with electric door, as well as plenty of unrestricted parking in the road. The rear garden is much larger than expected as the plot widens to the rear, revealing an incredibly secluded and generous garden with gently sloping lawn, enclosed with mature hedging and trees and having the benefit of a gate leading into woodland with direct access into Grosvenor and Hilbert Park. There is a large timber garden shed for useful storage and it really is a great garden for children to play. A large decked terrace from the kitchen/dining room is the perfect vantage point to enjoy views over the garden and trees beyond, with some extra storage beneath. Steps leads down from here to the garden and although the orientation of the garden is North, due to its size, it still enjoys excellent sunshine, especially in the summer months.
If you are looking for a well-proportioned family home, with a great garden and plenty of parking, that is perfect for family gatherings and time with friends, then this fantastic property is certainly worth viewing.
