The property
This superior detached property boasts a thoughtfully planned layout and design internally, combined with private low maintenance landscaped gardens. Positioned towards the edge of town within this highly regarded and established residential area this property was built by local builders M&J Ballantyne who have a reputation for their quality and high level finish. The presentation throughout is immaculate with clean crisp decor and a neutral palette, perfectly suited to those who are simply looking for something in turn key condition; properties of this nature are likely to appeal to family home buyers or perhaps the retiree who is looking for an easy to maintain property, within easy reach of the town centre yet offering good sized accommodation. The layout is flexible, in particular the large dining hall, which gives access to the sun room and is currently utilised as a home office, but perfectly suited to dinner parties, entertaining and family gatherings.

Ground Floor Accommodation
The kitchen which enjoys an aspect to the front of the property is very well appointed with an excellent range of modern wall and base units with ample worktop space. Windows to two sides ensure plenty of natural light and the room has provision for every day dining If preferred. The neighbouring utility room houses additional kitchen appliances and has access directly from the gardens and drive to the front. Central to the ground floor accommodation is the dining hall which is a fantastic space for entertaining with ample room for a large table and chairs. Offering a degree of flexibility depending on requirements, this space is currently utilised as a home office which works equally as well and features the staircase to the upper floor at the rear and access to the sun room at the front. Designed to make the most of the southerly aspect, the sun room is a worthy addition to the property; glazed on all sides and with direct access to the front lawns. Also with access to the front lawns, the dual aspect lounge is a lovely room of good proportions and features a gas stove which is set into a recessed fireplace with solid mantle over creating an impressive and traditional focal point to the room. Importantly there is good storage throughout the ground floor including a pantry cupboard and a useful ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.

Upper Accommodation
The carpeted stairs lead to a mid-landing which gives way to the laundry room which houses the central heating boiler and features a very useful clothes drying pulley. Steps then continue to a galleried style landing on the upper floor with further built in storage and hatch to the floored attic, perfect for additional storage. Boasting an en-suite and a dressing room, the master suite is impressive; the bedroom itself boasts generous proportions and a sunny aspect; the dressing room provides ample ‘his and hers’ storage whilst the en-suite is freshly presented with a contemporary white three piece shower suite. The three remaining bedrooms are all also well-proportioned double rooms, two of which overlook the cul de sac to the front and the other overlooking the rear garden; all benefitting from built in wardrobe storage. The family bathroom is well appointed, again fitted to a high specification with a modern white suite.
