Living Space
The home welcomes you into a central hallway which gives the first impression of the contemporary interiors. The heart of the home is the open plan space at the back which benefits from a lovely outlook into the garden and is perfect for socialising and owing to its abundance windows there’s plenty of natural light which creates that desirable bright and airy feel.
Within the kitchen is a breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, and sink with drainer and mixer tap, plus a freestanding range-style cooker with a five-plate induction hob, three ovens, grill, and extractor hood.
The sitting area within the open plan living space has a log burner which gives that countryside feel, and through to the front of the home is a traditional lounge with contemporary neutral décor, meaning you can simply move in and unpack with ease.
Other aspects of the living space include the home office/study which benefits from another attractive outlook onto the garden and leads further through to the utility room. In the utility is plumbing for the washing machine plus plenty of further storage space and an extra sink – practical for the demands of modern family life.
Quite a unique feature of this property is the snug at the top of the stairs, giving a handy extra space for the kids to play or for teenagers to chill with friends.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Three of the four bedrooms are located on the ground floor, and all of these bedrooms are good sized doubles meaning there’s ample space for the whole family. The largest of the bedrooms is currently a children’s bedroom with a three-piece en-suite that’s designed as a wet-room, however this could be easily converted into an impressive master suite. The current master bedroom is situated at the front and features a comprehensive range of fitted furniture, as does the third bedroom on this floor.
The fourth bedroom is located on the first floor adjacent to the snug, and there’s an additional WC with wash basin on this floor too, which could work well for an older child who wants their own space!
The main bathroom is on the ground floor and we are advised this was only installed 18 months ago as of writing, boasting a modern design with a three-piece suite comprising bath with shower, vanity basin and WC.
Outside Space
In addition to the spacious drive and front garden, the garden to the rear gets lots of sun and provides a great amount of outside space, with several outdoor seating areas and a variety of mature beds and lawns. There’s several spots for outdoor dining and BBQs in the summer months, heaps of potential for those with ‘green fingers’, and ample safe space for the kids to play. Not to mention the garden office/studio which is of a contemporary design with power and lighting, and could also be a lovely summer house!
Location
Amongst locals, Smith Lane is a highly sought-after suburb, particularly for families! It is quiet, well presented, and positioned in an Egerton postcode but is equally as close to the convenient amenities of Bromley Cross. If you’re looking for a well-established family-oriented neighbourhood, close to good schools, transport links, and a wonderful variety of local cafes, pubs, restaurants, and other amenities, this location ticks all the boxes!
As well as all the handy amenities mentioned above, this location is just a short stroll from beautiful open countryside and Jumbles Country Park, making it a fabulous place to live for those who enjoy spending time in nature. The nearby village of Edgworth also offers a selection of scenic walks around the Wayoh and Entwistle reservoirs.
