Situated in a quiet lane in the harbourside village of Itchenor, a detached property appointed with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, featuring versatile accommodation, superb garden and a detached garage.
Full Description
Ideally located in Chalkdock Lane, Itchenor, this detached chalet style house is set back from the lane and is approached via an attractive brick-built driveway with garden frontage adjacent.
The property is constructed in an appealing chalet style with rendered and tile hung elevations and a generous main reception room that connects ideally to the rear garden. On entering the property, a reception hall provides access to the generously proportioned sitting room, and located off this space, with an aspect over the front garden is a dining room.
The kitchen/breakfast room is oriented ‘front to back’ and is a light space, while a utility room compliments to the kitchen area and a separate back door with access to the garden.
A further reception room, that could be purposed as a study, playroom or fourth bedroom for example is positioned with a downstairs cloakroom/shower room opposite and this completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, are three bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys a triple aspect with glazed double doors to a balcony and is complimented by a generous en suite. The second bedroom makes for a double or twin room with eaves storage, while the third bedroom is dual aspect with built in wardrobe spaces. A bathroom services both additional bedrooms.
To the front of the property an extensive brick driveway provides ample off road parking and is complimented by an area laid to lawn, currently being landscaped, enclosed by panel fencing and hedgerows. To the rear the garden is largely laid to lawn, is private with an extensive paved terrace that spans the rear of the property and makes for an excellent entertaining space.
To one side of the property is a detached garage with a roller door, light and power, a window and double doors to the garden space. Finally, tucked away is a garden shed and a further garden store area, loosely covered with a concrete base. Of note, Hamerton provides the benefit of approved planning consent for either a series of extensions to enhance the existing accommodation, or for a replacement dwelling.
