Details
‘Broad Park’ comes to the market, for the first time since it was sold from new, nearly 20 years ago. This well designed, detached home offers a good deal of space and is ideal for a growing family, or the newly retired. There is the benefit of uPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating so it is an easy to run home. The house is of traditional cavity construction with rendered elevations and pleasing stone style quoins and similar window lintels, all under a concrete tiled roof.
All the rooms are bright and airey and flow well with a good size entrance hall and a cloakroom off and to the side is a good size office/ study which has ample cupboards. Double doors from the hall take you into the large living room with the main focal point being the arched, cast iron fireplace and grate with Minster style surround. This room opens to the conservatory which really takes full advantage of the countryside views, right up through the valley. There is then access out on to the sun deck which is a wonderful entertaining space as there are also the most wonderful views.
The kitchen/ breakfast room is nicely fitted with a good range of work tops and units with built in appliances including 5 ring gas hob and fan over, dishwasher, fridge/ freezer and eye level double oven. There is also a built in washing machine but this could be put in to the separate utility room, if required There is a spacious dining room for entertaining and a very useful utliity room. There is also ample storage in the 4 double bedrooms, as all of them have built in wardrobes. The main bedroom also has an en suite shower room whilst the main bathroom has a well appointed 4 piece suite and linen cupboard. The views are even better from the main and rear bedrooms.
The front of the house is laid with attractive brick pavers in a herringbone design and allows for ample parking for 4-6 cars.. The access to the front door is via a wide ramp; making wheelchair access very convenient. The house stands on a good size, yet easy to maintain plot. The rear garden is delightful with many maturing shrubs and trees which provide an excellent degree of privacy. There is a a wooden shed with a coated steel roof in the far corner of the garden. The good size lawn leads to steps up to the sun deck, under which there is some useful storage. The position of the house could not be better. In a sunny, South facing position, it also sides directly onto fields. The passing wildlife can be seen from the house and there are lovely far reaching views from the house and deck, over fields and up through the valley to Willingcott in the distance. You certainly feel as if you’re in the countryside, yet very convenient to amenities and the centre of the village is just 5 minutes walk away.
