Cover Drive, Bottesford

An opportunity to purchase a detached, contemporary home, completed in 2016 by the national home builder Barratt Homes, but recently extended to create a versatile layout, boasting three main reception areas, including a fantastic living / dining kitchen with vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors into the southerly facing rear garden. In addition there are four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, the principal room benefitting from ensuite facilities, and separate family bathroom.
The ground floor layout works particularly well, providing three main reception areas including a sitting room with attractive walk in bay window and feature media wall, separate study which is perfect for today's way of home working and a dining / living area leading off the kitchen, which combined, creates a spacious open plan space, which is undoubtedly going to become the heart of the home In addition there is a useful utility and ground floor cloak room, all leading off a central hallway.
The property offers relatively neutral decoration throughout with UPVC double glazing and gas central heating and occupies a cul-de-sac location. To the side is a tandem length driveway and garage and, to the rear is a south facing rear garden which has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a large paved terrace leading onto a central lawn with well stocked perimeter borders and range of tress providing a good screen.
Overall this would be a fantastic home, particularly for families either upsizing or relocating into the village and making use of its local schools and wealth of amenities.
Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
