About this home
THE PROPERTY A wonderfully characterful semi-detached residence with part hung tile façade and charming twin gables, sat on a lovely third of an acre plot and nestled within the exclusive confines of the esteemed Webb Estate on this peaceful, private road. The property further benefits from no onward chain.
The sweeping stone pathway, flanked by lush greenery, guides you to the front door, creating a welcoming approach that invites you to explore further. Original parquet flooring flows from the spacious hall through two of the impressive reception rooms. Each room offers a deep set bay window, filling the space with natural light, and the dining room features a red brick surround fireplace. The open plan kitchen/diner serves as the heart of the home, offering plenty of space for casual dining and culinary creations. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall mounted units, and there is plenty of space for appliances. A cloakroom with W/C and basin sits behind the kitchen, and there is access to the garden. Ascending to the first floor, four spacious bedrooms await, including the principal bedroom with a dressing room and a large ensuite shower room. One of the additional bedrooms is also ensuite, offering both convenience and privacy. A well-appointed family bathroom completes this level. The third floor unveils two further bedrooms, providing ample space for a growing family or accommodating guests.
Outside, the property's impressive grounds offer a serene escape, perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. A paved patio extends the width of the property, with steps descending onto a largely level lawn, which is surrounded by hedging and mature trees to the boundary. To the front, the driveway offers plenty of off street parking, and leads you to a detached garage.
