Description

A warm and welcoming atmosphere is palpable as soon as you cross the threshold of 'Astoria' this much-loved double fronted 5 bedroom family home. Built c.1963 and extending to an impressive approx.173sq.m of living accommodation. It boasts spacious reception rooms with a wonderful flow and an open plan kitchen cum dining cum family room which will appeal to families making for a well-balanced home. 'Astoria' is greatly enhanced by the most delightful of gardens, the rear garden extending to a superb 155 ft. approx. in length, which is a rarity by normal standards, setting this home apart from the rest.

Upon entering the property, a fine reception hallway has beautiful parquet flooring and a feature staircase leading to the first floor. To the left is the main reception room with feature fireplace and solid timber flooring. This living room is dual aspect, offers plenty of natural light and views over the stunning gardens. There is a second front reception room to the right of the hallway, which would make a great playroom and it in turn gives access to the rear lobby and direct access to the rear gardens. The kitchen/dining/family room has been cleverly opened up and is flooded by natural light creating a superb heart of this home. The cosy family room is spacious and the open fireplace enhances its comfort, while the dining area takes in great views of the private rear garden.

Upstairs the 5 x bedrooms are nicely proportioned and there is potential to create further accommodation by converting the attic if desired. A modern and recently fitted bathroom complete the living accommodation. The garden to the rear has very clearly been a labour of love over the years. Colour springs from all around from the beautifully matured beds and specimen trees. It extends to approximately 155ft in length and offers a peaceful sanctuary to unwind in & to enjoy with family and friends. The rear garden is a real highlight of Astoria as gardens of this size are rarely seen anymore. The garden is fully walled, with an abundance of space for play, relaxation, gardening or even to extend the existing house subject to pp. There is also a generous storage shed for gardening equipment/storage.
