Overview In brief This detached property, originally a bungalow, has been extended to provide three bedrooms and a garden studio. Located within easy walking distance of the shops, amenities, and station in New Barent, it also has a huge 130 ft rear garden. Property description Situated on a wide residential street, the property has an attractive frontage, with a picket fence and paved steps that lead down through the terraced front garden to the front door at the side of the house. Beyond is a gated alley that provides access to the rear garden. The front door opens into a central hallway with doors to the main living spaces, the two ground floor bedrooms, and a WC. The third bedroom and the bathroom are on the first (loft) floor. The main living space is open plan, with the living room, dining room and kitchen connected by wide open doorways. The living room measures a generous 17’1” by 10’10” and has an original cast-iron fireplace with ornate tiling as well as a dado rail and cornicing. From here you have a direct line of sight through to the dining room and garden beyond. The spacious, 17ft-long dining room spans the rear of the property and has great garden views thanks to wide windows and French doors that open onto a paved terrace. It’s at a slightly lower level than the living room and kitchen, giving it an intimate ambience. The adjacent galley kitchen is well equipped, with extensive fitted wall and floor cabinets that house both integrated and freestanding appliances. A cobalt blue tiled splashback adds visual interest, and there’s plenty of worktop space. Both ground floor bedrooms are at the front of the property. The main bedroom has a lovely, curved bay window and plenty of space for a kingsize bed and bedroom furniture, whilst the second bedroom is a small double. There’s a third double bedroom on the first (loft) floor bedroom. This charming room has an arched casement window with leafy views and two Velux roof lights. A large mirrored fitted wardrobe on the landing provides ample storage space and the bedroom also has built-in eaves cupboards. The bathroom is also on this floor. This is a good size and fitted with a bath with a shower and glass screen, and a freestanding washbasin and WC. A Velux and a circular coloured glass window provide good natural light. The 130ft rear garden has a long lawn bordered by planted beds and trees, and a paved path to a second terrace and lovely garden studio at the end. The property is in excellent condition throughout, with mainly white décor that emphasises the sense of space and light, and contemporary fixtures and fittings.
