About this property

Homes on this development are always popular, but it is incredibly rare to find one that has been extended to this extent - and that is exactly what makes 144 Valley Drive, Carleton Grange so special. Occupying a quiet position at the end of a no-through road, this superb two double bedroom semi-detached home has been significantly enhanced by a generous ground floor extension, transforming it into a property that stands head and shoulders above others on the estate - QUOTE LI0465.

The extension has completely redefined the ground floor layout, creating a stunning open-plan living, dining and kitchen space that is both spacious and sociable - something rarely available in homes of this style within the development. 

For buyers seeking something more than the standard layout, this is a home that truly offers a unique opportunity, making it an ideal choice for first-time buyers, downsizers or anyone looking for a home that is ready to enjoy from day one.

From the moment you arrive, the property makes a strong first impression. The attractive frontage, combined with a generous driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles, ensures both practicality and kerb appeal. 

The peaceful setting at the end of the road adds to the sense of privacy, creating a calm and welcoming environment before you even step inside.

Entering the home, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that offers plenty of room to greet guests and store coats and shoes, setting the tone for the well-proportioned accommodation throughout. 

Straight ahead lies the inviting living room, a comfortable and well-presented space featuring an electric fire that creates a focal point and provides additional warmth when needed. With neutral décor, laminate flooring and an open staircase leading to the first floor, this room feels both bright and homely, offering the perfect place to relax at the end of the day.

Moving through the property, you arrive at what is unquestionably the heart of the home


the stunning extended kitchen, dining and living space. This incredible area has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both light and functionality, creating a truly sociable environment that is perfect for modern living. 

The recently installed kitchen is finished in a stylish matt navy tone, beautifully contrasted by striking white worktops. A central island with a breakfast bar provides additional workspace and a natural gathering point, while a range of high-quality integrated appliances ensures the space is as practical as it is visually impressive. LED ceiling lighting enhances the contemporary feel, while the overall layout offers ample room for cooking, dining and entertaining.

Beyond the kitchen, the extension continues into a superb living and dining area that is flooded with natural light. Two large Velux windows, combined with expansive French doors, create a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the space. 

The doors open directly onto the rear garden, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living


perfect for summer days when you want to open up the space and enjoy the fresh air. Whether hosting friends, enjoying family meals, or simply unwinding, this area offers a level of versatility that truly sets this home apart.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two generously sized double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom, located at the rear of the property, offers a peaceful and comfortable retreat, and opening the curtains reveals wonderful open field views


a truly relaxing way to start each day. The room also enjoys plenty of natural light, while the second bedroom, positioned at the front, is equally spacious and provides excellent flexibility for use as a guest room, home office or additional family accommodation. 

Both rooms offer ample space for bedroom furniture and are presented in neutral tones, allowing new owners to personalise them to their own taste.

Completing the internal accommodation is a modern three-piece family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath and shower over, a wash hand basin and WC. Finished with part-tiled walls, vinyl flooring and a frosted window allowing natural light while maintaining privacy, the bathroom is both functional and well-presented.

Externally, the property continues to deliver with a rear garden that offers a wonderful blend of relaxation and practicality. A generously flagged patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine, while a raised lawn offers a safe and versatile space for children and pets to play. 

Decorative planting around the borders adds a touch of greenery, and a garden shed provides useful additional storage. A further hardstanding area to the side, along with gated access back to the driveway, enhances the overall convenience of the space. Backing onto open fields, the garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and a pleasant outlook, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat that is rarely found in properties of this type.

You'll just love this home, and the location is excellent too.
