SOLD - SUBJECT TO CONCLUSION OF MISSIVES
Boasting contemporary interior design and generous accommodation, 56 Lockharton Avenue offers two reception rooms, two bathrooms, a southwestfacing rear garden, and extensive parking options.
Inside this extended bungalow, you are first greeted by a traditional vestibule and then by an immaculate hallway illuminated by a skylight. It offers two cupboards and sets a very high bar with its soft décor and rich timber-effect flooring, which flows throughout much of the home. The living room is on the right. Framed by an exquisite gas fireplace and brightly lit by a bay window, this generously proportioned reception space is beautifully decorated to create a tranquil and inviting environment for everyday use.
The kitchen conveniently neighbours, sporting walnut-effect cabinets and complimentary worktops. The attractive modern design includes a dual-fuel rangemaster cooker, an integrated dishwasher, and a freestanding fridge-freezer. A contemporary utility room, fitted with sleek handle-less cabinets in white, matching worktops, and lime green splashbacks, provides an integrated washer and dryer and additional storage.
Located throughout the home are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom, with soothing tones and a modern accent wall, has the largest proportions and plush carpeting for maximum comfort. The second bedroom is also a good-size double, whilst the third is a large single. Meanwhile, the fourth bedroom is a spacious double currently arranged as a home office. Completing the outstanding accommodation are two high-spec bathrooms, one with a modern three-piece suite, the other with a luxurious four-piece suite, including a double-ended bathtub and a double walk-in shower enclosure. Gas central heating and double-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort.
In addition to a low-maintenance front garden, the large rear garden is landscaped with a manicured lawn, planting areas, and a timber deck for alfresco dining in the sun. A gated driveway and a detached single garage ensure off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
