A spacious detached family home located at the head of a small close on the outer edge of this popular village with excellent parking and a large corner plot.
Original built in the late 1930s/early 1940s as the local district nurse house, 25 Sarum Close was a three bedroom property which was later extended (2017) by local master builder Ray Ferguson with a full two storey addition resulting in the current 4 bedroom layout. The rooms are spacious, light and airy and extremely well presented with full double glazing and oil fired central heating to radiators. The ground floor accommodation comprises a sitting room with log burning stove, dining room/study, impressive kitchen, utility and refitted shower room/cloakroom. The first floor has an extremely large landing with main bedroom with fitted built in wardrobes and en suite, two further double bedrooms, a large single bedroom and a refitted family bathroom.
A particular feature of this fine home is the excellent triple aspect kitchen which is an impressive open plan space extending across the rear of the property with a stone floor and underfloor heating. There are three defined areas; the kitchen and preparation area which is fitted with a fabulous range of farmhouse style painted units with woodblock work surfaces and a large feature island with inset hob and suspended extractor hood. The family/breakfast area has a picture window with patio doors opening in to the garden, adjoining the kitchen is a large walk through pantry which is well fitted with matching units, worktops and two full height cupboards concealing a larder fridge and separate freezer. Finally, off the pantry is a large utility/boot room, also with matching cupboards and worktops, with doors leading to the front and rear gardens. The property benefits from having had a brand new boiler installed.
The property sits within a screened plot and is approached off Sarum Close via a private gravelled drive with parking, turning and access to an attached single garage. The front garden is laid to lawn with a number of mature specimen shrubs and trees. The rear garden is fully enclosed and of an excellent size with a large patio/seating area leading to an expanse of lawn with mature shrubs.
