Down the rabbit hole... and into a home that is anything but ordinary! Welcome to Leys Drive, a wonderfully unique detached home where six bedrooms, generous living space and approximately 0.30 of an acre come together to create a property full of possibilities. With plenty of room for family life, entertaining, hobbies, home working and everything in between, this is a house where there is always another room to discover and another possibility around the corner. Offered for sale with no onward chain, it's ready and waiting for its next chapter.
Curious and curiouser... Step through the front door and you'll find yourself in the welcoming entrance hall, where the adventure begins. There's a handy WC tucked away just off the hall, perfect for guests. Through the next door, you'll discover the impressive open-plan lounge and diner, where the generous proportions provide plenty of room to relax, dine and entertain. A wall of glazing and sliding doors draw the garden into the room, flooding the space with natural light and creating an easy connection with the outdoors. At the heart of the room is a feature wall, complete with a central fireplace and media area, framed by curved recessed alcoves and built-in display shelving. It's a room full of personality, with plenty of character and something new to discover around every corner.
Time for tea... The kitchen/breakfast room is another fabulous space, with sleek cabinetry, warm wood-effect worktops and a large central island creating the perfect spot for everything from morning coffee to a rather elaborate tea party. There's a stainless steel one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer, an induction hob, a built-in grill and oven, plus plenty of room for additional appliances. Extensive glazing and bifold doors flood the room with natural light and can be thrown open to create a seamless connection between the kitchen and garden. And for a little practical magic, a useful utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing a dedicated space for household essentials and helping to keep the main kitchen clutter-free.
And now for something a little unexpected... Downstairs, you'll also discover two generous double bedrooms. One is presented as a bedroom, while the other is currently used as a snug, giving you the flexibility to enjoy it as a cosy second reception room or use it as an additional bedroom, depending on your needs. A spacious bathroom sits between the two, complete with a separate bath and shower, WC and wash hand basin. This part of the house is particularly well suited to multi-generational living, accommodating guests or anyone who would benefit from having comfortable accommodation all on one level.
But the adventure doesn't end there... A substantial double garage provides plenty of space for vehicles, storage or hobbies. Then, just when you think you've reached the end of the rabbit hole, you'll discover a fantastic garden room to the rear. Complete with bifold doors opening onto the garden and its own sink, this is another wonderfully versatile space that could be used as a home office, gym, studio, hobby room or simply somewhere to escape with a good book.
And there's more upstairs... Take the staircase to the first floor, where four further double bedrooms await. Two of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, while another is currently used as an office, demonstrating just how adaptable this floor can be. The family bathroom completes the accommodation, with a separate bath and shower, WC and wash hand basin.
And just when you think you've seen it all... Step outside and the adventure continues. Set within approximately 0.30 of an acre, the South-East-facing gardens give this already substantial home plenty of breathing space. A combination of lawn and patio areas provides room for children to play, four-legged friends to roam, keen gardeners to get creative and everyone else to enjoy the great outdoors. To the front, a tarmacked driveway provides parking, while beyond this, a gated entrance leads to a resin driveway that extends around to the side of the property, offering further parking options.
So, if you're ready to step into your next adventure, this wonderfully versatile home is waiting to welcome you.
