This super, detached, family home is nicely located in a popular cul-de-sac in the northern part of the city. The spacious accommodation has a pleasing natural flow and the principal rooms are excellent sizes. The house has recently benefitted from new carpets throughout as well as a brand-new family bathroom.

The property is entered via a large, enclosed porch, which allows plenty of space for shoes and coats and provides internal access to the double garage. The welcoming entrance hall gives access to all rooms on the ground floor. The extensive sitting room stretches across the front and is flooded with natural light, courtesy of two large windows. This room leads on to the dining the room, via glazed double doors. The spacious dining room leads to the patio and south facing garden via double glazed sliding doors. A door leads through to the kitchen and breakfast room, which can also be accessed from the hallway. The kitchen itself is well appointed and bright, with fitted units providing ample storage space. Integrated appliances include oven, microwave, and gas hob, with space for further appliances such as a dishwasher and full height fridge freezer. A kitchen door opens out to the patio and garden. A utility room is accessed via the garage or back garden, which has space for work units and appliances. A downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are five excellent bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an exceptional size with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The four remaining bedrooms, three of which are doubles, also have built-in storage and these share the newly fitted family bathroom.

Outside, the house sits on a good-sized plot with gardens both to the front and rear. To the front, the driveway lies alongside a lawned garden, which is attractively bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and plants. The spacious garage benefits from power and light and leads through the utility out to the rear garden. The rear garden is fully enclosed, mostly laid to lawn and is bordered by established trees and shrubs. There is a large garden store to the rear of the house providing accessible storage for tools and garden furniture.
