4 Bed Semi-detached house Sold

A much loved family home for the past 25 years, 1 The Avenue has been beautifully maintained and enhanced by the owners, to create substantial and well proportioned family accommodation in a highly regarded residential location in a no-through road. With period and character features including some (fully refurbished) sash windows with original glass, wooden and flagstone floors and cast-iron fireplaces, along with attractive plasterwork and cornicing, it provides flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs.

The property is set back off The Avenue, with a pretty garden and ample parking to the front in addition to the large garage. Conveniently, there are 2 separate entrances - the main front door is up the steps to the front of the property, and opens into a spacious lobby area: through the wooden gate to the side, and down 4 steps is another door providing an alternative, ground floor entrance, ideal for anyone running a business from home, or perhaps wanting to create self-contained accommodation for a dependent relative.

The first floor living accommodation beyond the entrance lobby is well proportioned with good ceiling heights and polished wooden floorboards, and both the sitting and dining rooms have working open fireplaces with cast iron grates.

The sitting room to the front is a highlight of the property, with a wide triple sash bay window overlooking the front garden, and a sense of elegance and calm. The spacious dining room opposite leads through an archway to the kitchen beyond, fitted with a good range of oak wood wall and base units with Silestone work surfaces and wonderful views over the rear garden through a central sash window. Integrated appliances include a Bosch ceramic hob with Bosch pyrolytic electric fan oven, and there is space for a dishwasher and fridge.

Downstairs, the ground floor accommodation is also well proportioned, with a large study/home office to the front, with a triple sash bay window, flagstone floor and a wood burner in a central fireplace flanked by bookshelves to either side. Along with generous understairs storage, there is a utility cupboard with space for a freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The ground floor sitting room has an art deco feature fireplace, plus a storage cupboard to one side and a useful airing cupboard to the other. Beyond is the ground floor double bedroom with a wc off and a glazed door providing direct access to the neat pathway running around the outside of the property and steps up to the rear garden beyond.

The second floor bedroom accommodation is arranged off a wide upstairs landing, with a dual aspect bathroom at the far end, plus a separate shower room to the side. 2 of the bedrooms overlook the rear of property, with the spacious principal bedroom to the front.

Outside - the rear garden at 1 The Avenue is delightful, enclosed by a boundary wall to the side with mature hedges and trees, and herbaceous borders flanking a garden path. It includes a small pond and has been informally divided into areas including a good sized lawn that leads to a neatly fenced section with a glazed hexagonal summerhouse/shed. An ivy-clad archway leads through to a generous kitchen garden with various raised beds divided by neat pathways, with raspberry canes and fruit trees including cherry, apple and pear and an attractively espaliered Red Devil apple tree to the back wall. There are also the original foundations and low walls of a previous greenhouse, that now provides a sheltered herb garden. Near the house is a pergola covered with wisteria and a large outhouse providing storage space, and the location for the boiler.

To the front of the property is generous off-street parking in addition to the large garage, with wooden doors to the front and good overhead rafters storage along with a useful window and garden door to the far end. The neat front garden is mainly laid to lawn, with some established shrubs and a mature apple tree.
