About this home
Occupying a tucked-away position in the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac, this spacious and extended four-bedroom semi-detached family home offers generous accommodation and would benefit from some cosmetic updating.
The cul-de-sac is arranged around an attractive central green, and the property enjoys a position that is not overlooked. The ground-floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch and hallway with stairs to the first floor, together with a lounge featuring a fireplace with an inset gas fire. The lounge opens into a dining room extending across the rear of the house, with French doors leading to the rear garden. The extended kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall units and incorporates a gas hob with an extractor fan above, a separate electric double oven, and space and plumbing for a washing machine. A door to the side provides access to the rear garden.
To the first floor are four double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefiting from an en suite shower room fitted with a low-level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and double shower cubicle with a mains-fed, wall-mounted shower. The family bathroom comprises a low-level WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with a shower mixer tap.
Externally, the front and rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with flowering shrubs and borders, complemented by a patio area to the side. A driveway to the front provides off-street parking and leads to a garage with an up-and-over door.
Langton Lea is a pleasant and popular cul-de-sac with a central communal grassed area and is situated within High Shincliffe a well established residential area which has traditionally proved to be popular in demand.
