Property description
Sowerbys are pleased to offer this superbly presented family home, occupying a delightful plot of around 0.6 acres (sts) and within distance of the town centre. The property provides versatile and well-sized living space over two floors, with the accommodation briefly comprising reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, rear hall, laundry, utility room, cloakroom and boot room on the ground floor; with four bedrooms, dressing room and the family bathroom accessed from the first floor landing. The master bedroom is currently configured with an adjoining door to the dressing room, however, this could easily be adapted in to use as a fifth bedroom with the benefit of an en-suite bathroom. The grounds further enhance the overall appeal of this property, with abundant parking, secure off-road storage for a motorhome or caravan, a range of outbuildings and a large rear garden which may offer development potential (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). The outbuildings include a recently constructed workshop, a timber garage, a studio building which is currently used as a home gymnasium but would also make a perfect home office, and a useful storage building/kennel with an enclosed courtyard, ideal for housing pets.
