Property description

Pilchards was built about eight years ago to a stylish, energy saving and easy to maintain design, close to the outskirts of this popular town but within walking distance of two excellent schools and the local amenities.



This is a unique detached house, with light, spacious and flexible accommodation suitable for either family or retirement.



On the ground floor is a hall, cloakroom, fourth bedroom with en-suite shower room, a superb L-shaped living room together with a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining utility room. The oak kitchen with granite working surfaces incorporates all the integrated appliances one would expect of a modern, high specification property.



On the first floor are a further three bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. Excellent use of timber has been used throughout with stained architraves and skirtings, together with solid oak flooring throughout the hall and living room. The renowned Nu-Heat local heating company have provided the underfloor gas central heating and the windows and external doors are PVC timber effect units.



The site in Slade Road includes a lot of mature plants and shrubs, is fully enclosed and offers great space for a family or plenty to do for the keen gardener. The tarmac and gravelled drive area provides plenty of parking and turning space in front of the house. To the side is a carport and adjoining workshop/store.



We strongly recommend inspection of this unusual, extremely well presented residence, enjoying a tucked away yet very accessible location.
