Egerton Road, Oxton, CH43 1UJ

This is a treat of a family home, not least for its plot size, not least for its location (walking distance of local schooling and trains/buses), not least for its extra (third!) reception room - but so too for its bright and cheerful feel, its clever storage (with the littlies in mind) and for its detached garage - an absolute must see... Park up on the driveway and come in through to the spacious and welcoming hallway - note here the light coming from the glazing to the front and from the stairwell, too - a great start to the tour.  Then on into the first in a collection of receptions, the sitting room to the front of the house, a quieter spot with feature fire, built in cupboards with a fabulous flash of mauve - perhaps reserve this space for the grown ups?? On to the rear, there's a pretty living room, again with built in cabinetry and book shelves, another feature fire and a door, this time, to the garden - certainly one for the kids to enjoy and make use of both inside and outside of the house. The kitchen has been well thought out, and has the welcomed addition of a separate utility with space and plumbing for your washing machine and tumble dryer - an extra sink here, too, and further cupboards - to be used as a walk in pantry, perhaps. Back to the kitchen and its collection of cupboard and work top space, this comes complete with sleek soft close drawers and doors. And if this is not yet enough, pass through the pantry/laundry room, and head on through to the fabulous dining room extension - to be used as such, or relegate the kids and their toys to this space - it's really rather versatile, neutrally decorated and with a pretty view out to see what they're up to in the garden... Upstairs, we've two good sized doubles with great built in storage and a generous third bed, too. Separate loo from bathroom, allowing for fewer door knocks whilst one is in the bath - a smaller project, perhaps, to knock through, if you so wish. Outside is just as fab, we've mentioned the parking, and the detached garage (with light/power) but we've also got a great size garden, too, to the rear - afforded by the kite shaped plot we sit on. A side patio running between house and garage, plus ample lawn space, too - one for all, one for barbecues, one for a spot of sun bathing when we get the chance. All in all, a very impressive home, neatly presented, joyfully bright, with that little extra space to stretch out.
