About this property
Occupying an elevated position within the sought-after village of Cucklington, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom semi-detached home has been entirely refurbished to a high standard throughout, with the benefit of a new roof and all new windows. Combining character features with contemporary finishes, the property is presented in excellent decorative order and offers modern, energy-efficient living, enhanced by the recent installation of twelve solar panels with battery storage. Set within a generous garden, the home enjoys an attractive countryside setting with sweeping views.
Ground Floor
A welcoming entrance hall introduces the home, enhanced by Velux windows and a glazed panel which draws natural light into the space. From here, stairs rise to the first floor, while engineered oak-flooring flows throughout the ground floor, adding warmth and continuity. The living room is a well-proportioned dual-aspect space centred around an inset fireplace with stone hearth, forming an attractive focal point. A rear door provides access to the outside, while a cleverly designed cloakroom/utility is fitted with a space-saving WC incorporating a built-in basin, together with plumbing and electrics for laundry appliances, creating a practical and discreet utility area. The living room opens directly into the dining area, with glazed sliding doors opening out to the decking and garden, enjoying a pleasant countryside outlook. The newly installed kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, featuring solid wood, shaker-style cabinetry finished in sage green, complemented by solid beech wood worktops and a peninsula breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a five-ring electric hob with stainless steel extractor above, built-in oven and microwave, alongside a composite sink and pull-out pantry. There is space for additional appliances such as a fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
First Floor
The first floor reflects the same high standard of refurbishment, presented in excellent decorative order and complemented by two newly installed, contemporary bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a standout feature of the home, enjoying a large window framing open views across the garden and surrounding countryside, and is complemented by a stylish en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms complete the first floor, with bedroom two benefitting from an over-stairs storage cupboard and a far-reaching outlook, while bedroom three enjoys attractive hillside views. The family bathroom comprises an L-shaped bath with rainfall and handheld shower attachments over, a two-drawer vanity unit with inset basin, WC, illuminated mirror with shaver socket, heated towel rail, luxury vinyl flooring, and a rear-facing window.
Outside
Approached from the road via steps leading to a wooden picket gate, the property is set behind a lawned front garden. Its elevated position is a defining feature, providing an idyllic outlook and setting the tone for the homes light-filled and thoughtfully designed interiors. The rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance and entertaining in mind. Composite decking and a raised patio wrap around the rear of the property, providing multiple seating areas ideal for enjoying the uninterrupted views. Two sets of wooden steps with aggregate infill lead down to the main garden, while a separate pathway, lined with sensor lighting, provides access to two gravelled parking spaces at the lower level. An established English yew tree stands midway down the garden, adding character to this generous outdoor space.
