THE PROPERTY
A luxuriously presented detached family home standing in an attractive setting within large, beautiful gardens of approaching 0.31 of an acre, enjoying a high degree of privacy and a view of the parish church. Aldridge Lane is one of the most desirable addresses in this sought after village on the outskirts of town.

This traditional home, which was built by the owners for themselves in 2002, presents light brick and rendered elevations under a tiled roof and has recently been stylishly refurbished. Improvements include a superb, comprehensively fitted kitchen/dining room and utility room, remodelled modern bathrooms and a contemporary high specification garden office.

The part galleried reception hall features the stairs rising to the first floor and gives access to the four ground floor reception rooms with a well-proportioned spacious sitting room with part vaulted ceiling and featuring a bressummer beamed fireplace housing a wood burning stove, three sets of hardwood framed double doors leading to the rear garden and internal glazed double doors leading to the large dining room. The impressive open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room is comprehensively fitted with a high specification range of base and eye level units, Quartz work surfaces, underset sink and integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, Bosch Wifi microwave, steam over and two fan ovens, electric induction hob, fridge and freezer.

On the first floor, the landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms with a large en-suite to the master bedroom, an en-suite shower to the guest bedroom and a stylish family shower room.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a tarmacadam shared roadway (that was recently re-surfaced) leading to the property’s block paved drive and parking area for several vehicles and the detached double garage with twin automatic up and over doors. The remaining area of front garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrub borders.

The beautifully presented rear garden is a particular feature of Willowmead with well-tended formal lawns and a selection of mature trees and plants of varying variety interspersed around the borders. There is an extensive terraced area abutting the rear of the property, making a fantastic alfresco dining and entertaining area and a detached bi-fold door fronted garden room/studio office to the rear. Occupying a tucked away position at the rear corner of the garden is a garden shed and store area.

The gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy being mainly enclosed by mature hedging, fencing and brick and flint wall.
