THE GOOD LIFE IS WAITING IN THIS SPACIOUS FAMILY HOME

Recently extended semi-detached family home in an extremely large, south-facing garden of approx. one third an acre. Situated at the end of a small, quiet cul-de-sac of mostly privately-owned former local authority houses. With lovely views of fields to the front and the side, and no other houses over-looking, this is an ideal place to enjoy country life and the changing seasons

This double-glazed, oil centrally heated home has very flexible accommodation for a large family, with a downstairs bedroom for a disabled or elderly family member or for an au-pair or nanny. It has five bedrooms (one en-suite), or four bedrooms and study/second sitting-room or playroom. All five bedrooms are large enough for a double bed.

There is a large kitchen/dining-room, with a useful utility-room with a butler's sink. This room houses the oil boiler, a washing machine and a tumble-dryer. The living-room has a log-burner for cosy evenings and a French window giving out on to the large private patio. The whole house is decorated in neutral colours.

This substantial house is of double brick construction with recent cavity wall insulation installed. The attic has been well insulated to modern standards. All the radiators have individual thermostats. Outside security lights have been fitted.

A short walk will bring you to Monkland Village common, a lovely place for children to play or to walk the dog, and there are many interesting walks nearby. The village of Monkland is a quiet, friendly village and is two miles from the nearest supermarket and three miles from Leominster, a bustling and thriving small market town with good butchers and other small traders.

The back garden is extremely large and the current owners have had a thriving vegetable patch for many years until health problems prevented it. They also kept chickens with no objection at all from the neighbours. The back garden is currently being laid down to grass after removal of all the chicken housing. There is a greenhouse, one small shed and a large, well insulated garden room, with lights and electricity supply, which has been used as a painting studio by the current owners. Both sheds are quite new and in excellent condition.

The current owners are looking into the possibility of outline planning permission for a second dwelling to be built on the back garden.
