Yarrow Drive
This detached home sits back from the road behind a broad frontage, a wide driveway and a double garage with electric roller doors. The home has been carefully maintained and improved, including an updated gas central heating system, creating a move‑in‑ready environment with a calm, welcoming feel.
A practical porch leads into the central hallway, where sensor lighting and built‑in storage are neatly integrated. To the front, a versatile room currently arranged as a study, offers the flexibility to become a fourth bedroom if required. With the cloakroom positioned beside it, complete with fitted vanity storage, this area lends itself well to multi‑generational living or a dedicated workspace.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with a comprehensive range of fitted units and integrated appliances including twin ovens, a electric induction hob with extractor, and a dishwasher. The breakfast bar, also built in, creates a sociable focal point, while additional cabinetry provides space for laundry appliances and a tall fridge‑freezer. These fixtures form part of the kitchen’s clean, cohesive look.
The main living area is a standout feature, with the sitting and dining spaces forming a sweeping L‑shape that encourages a relaxed, open‑plan lifestyle. This leads directly into the garden room, where the heating has been extended from the main house and an additional gas heater is fitted. With its bank of windows, French doors and year‑round usability, this space feels like a natural extension of the home.
Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility. Two enjoy views across the peaceful tree‑lined backdrop, while the front bedroom benefits from a dual aspect and excellent natural light. Fitted wardrobes in the rear bedroom remain, providing practical storage without compromising the sense of space. The family bathroom includes a freestanding bath, a separate shower, fitted vanity storage and a heated towel rail, all of which form part of the permanent fittings.
The south‑facing garden is private, enclosed and thoughtfully landscaped, combining lawn, patio and well‑planted borders to create a setting that feels established yet easy to maintain. The bespoke timber summer house, positioned neatly in the corner, remains with the property and offers a charming retreat for warm afternoons or quiet evenings.
Altogether, this is a home that balances practicality with comfort, offering generous living spaces, adaptable rooms and a garden that feels like a sanctuary. Its position, privacy and thoughtful layout make it an appealing choice for families, home‑workers and anyone seeking a well‑presented property in a convenient yet peaceful setting.
