Appleton Drive, Whitmore, ST5

The apple of your eye and a rare opportunity ready for the picking with No Upward Chain! Some homes fall from the tree. Others are carefully cultivated over time. Welcome to 5A Appleton Drive, a truly special home that's ripe for its next chapter. Architecturally designed and lovingly occupied by the same family since day one, this three-bedroom home is a rare variety indeed. Combining generous proportions, an open-plan layout and a wonderful village setting, this is a property that's been nurtured to perfection and is now ready for a new owner to enjoy the fruits of its design.

Step through the front door and you'll immediately discover there's nothing "small apple" about this home. The spacious entrance hall provides a warm welcome, introducing you to the property's impressive scale and flowing layout from the very first moment. A staircase rises to the first floor, while a wealth of built-in storage ensures everyday clutter can be neatly tucked away, keeping life crisp and organised. Before reaching the heart of the home, you'll find a stylish ground floor shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, WC, vanity unit, illuminated mirror and heated towel radiator, ideal for busy households or visiting guests. Continue through and you'll arrive in the beautifully appointed kitchen. Here, sleek white gloss cabinetry pairs effortlessly with contrasting black work surfaces, creating a contemporary space that's both practical and visually appealing. Integrated appliances help maintain clean lines, while a striking vertical radiator adds an extra dash of design flair. From the kitchen, the home truly begins to blossom. Flowing seamlessly into the impressive rear extension, this wonderfully versatile space is currently arranged as a dining area but could easily become a family room, garden lounge or entertaining hub depending on your needs. Two sets of sliding doors open directly onto the garden, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living, while four skylights and additional side windows allow natural light to pour in from every angle. Like sunshine through an orchard canopy, the light creates a bright and uplifting atmosphere throughout the day. A matching vertical radiator mirrors the kitchen's contemporary style, tying the spaces together beautifully. The open-plan journey continues into the inviting living room, accessible from both the extension and the hallway. At its heart sits a charming log burner, creating the perfect focal point for cosy evenings and gathering with family and friends. With plenty of room for your preferred furniture arrangement, it's a space designed for relaxing and unwinding. If you require further ground floor reception space the integral garage offers endless opportunities and possibilities.

Head upstairs and you'll discover three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all branching from a spacious landing. The landing itself offers more than just circulation space. Complete with carpeting underfoot and two useful storage cupboards, there's even potential to create a study nook, reading corner or home-working station if desired. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the property and enjoys a beautiful bay window alongside an additional side window, creating a wonderfully bright retreat. A feature fireplace adds character, while soft carpeting underfoot ensures comfort from morning through to night. Bedroom two enjoys delightful rear views across the open playing fields of Whitmore Village Hall, offering a peaceful outlook. Bedroom three shares similarly attractive views and provides another generous double room, ideal for family, guests or flexible working arrangements. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a full-size bathtub, WC, wash basin and illuminated mirror. Plumbing is already in place should a future owner wish to install a shower, while bright white tiling keeps the room feeling fresh, light and versatile.

Step outside and discover a garden that's ready to bear fruit for years to come. The rear garden offers a wonderful blend of lawn, established plants, shrubs and trees, creating a charming outdoor space that's full of colour, texture and opportunity. Whether you dream of gardening, entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying the outdoors, there's plenty of room to cultivate your own vision. A patio seating area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining, summer barbecues or enjoying a well-earned cup of tea while soaking up the surroundings. To the front, a private driveway and integral garage provide seamless off-road parking, storage and everyday convenience.
