Number 23 has been the much-loved home over the last 40 years to the current owner and offers scope for modernising.
The front door opens into an entrance hall and doorways lead firstly to the CLOAKROOM with fitted water softener.
Further along the hall is the generous SITTING/DINING area. The large sliding doors and windows in this room make it a sun-filled space. The traditional Purbeck stone fireplace currently surrounds a gas fire. This is a perfect place for cosying up together as the night sets in and the room is generous enough to hold seating and dining furniture whilst conversations carry on from the kitchen through the serving hatch.
Conveniently situated just up the hall from the living/dining area is the KITCHEN. This open room offers practical space for cooking, with fitted counter tops, 5 ring gas hob with extractor hood over, electric grill and double gas oven, base and eye-level storage cupboards and sink with waste disposal unit under. There is an entrance to the rear garden, offering even more natural light and ease of access.
The hallway has a pull-down ladder providing access to a very useful Loft Room, with both a Velux and side window, which has been used as an office in the past and has a door to the loft storage space which is centrally boarded, and has lighting and the gas fired boiler. Walk on, through the hallway, past useful storage cupboards, one of which is an airing cupboard, to the neat and tidy BEDROOM 3.
The room is generous enough for a double bed and enjoys a view over the rear garden.
From the inner hallway is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, complete with fitted wardrobes and an EN-SUITE shower, hand basin and cupboard units, and a sliding door to the kitchen. This has provided a combined utility space.
BEDROOM 2, along the hallway, is right next to the main BATHROOM, comprising walk-in shower cubicle, W.C., and hand basin.
Outside
Turn into Barndale Drive from Barnhill Road, and you will find number 23 neatly positioned, at the top of the cul-de-sac in a quiet spot with PARKING for 3 cars and there is a DOUBLE GARAGE (single car entrance door) with power and light and a useful GARDEN SHED behind.
The FRONT GARDEN is paved and gravelled and is decorated with plants and shrubs, and therefore low maintenance.
The REAR GARDEN has a large lawn and established shrubs providing an enclosed setting, complete with a 2 PATIO AREAS for entertaining family and friends, one of which is a delightful sun trap.
