Description: 1 Weald View is a late 1960s detached house and was the original show house in a sought after development of just 23 properties. The house presents brick and tile-hung external elevations beneath a tiled roof and benefits from large, double-glazed windows and doors giving lots of natural light, and provides spacious and flexible accommodation of approximately 1,567sq.ft/145.6sq.m.

The property is set on a good-sized plot and benefits from a large front garden, a driveway providing plenty of parking, and gardens that wrap around the house with a lovely southwest facing aspect. The house has been in the same ownership for nearly 50 years and has been a much loved and well-maintained family home, yet offers excellent scope for some general updating, enlargement and remodelling, if required (e.g. opening up the kitchen into the dining/family room, extending to the side, etc).

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes on the ground floor a spacious entrance hall, a cloakroom, a good-sized, double aspect sitting/dining room which extends to 21’1, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, a family room (originally the dining room), a conservatory, and a useful covered boot area which provides useful storage and gives access to the garage and a potting shed. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a good-sized family bathroom.

Outside, the property has a block paved driveway providing plenty of parking and leading to a single garage. There are mature gardens to the front laid to lawn with well-established flower borders. A door to the side of the garage gives access to an enclosed lobby/boot room area with doors leading to the utility room and out the private rear garden. The gardens are a real feature of the property, being southwest facing and having well-kept lawns that wraps around the house and being planted with an abundance of mature shrubs and plants. There is a private terrace outside the conservatory, ideal for outdoor entertaining and the garden is bordered with hedges and fencing.
