Interior
The house opens into a wide and inviting reception hall, giving access to both the bedroom accommodation and the main living areas. A generous rear facing lounge flows seamlessly into the pool complex and out to the garden. Just off the hall is a separate dining room, ideal for entertaining, which links neatly to the kitchen breakfast room offering ample storage, generous worktop space and room for family dining. This is supported by a well arranged utility room, which leads through to a home office with its own front access. The principal bedroom features a dressing room and en suite, with up to four further double bedrooms also positioned on this level. These rooms provide excellent flexibility and can be used as additional reception spaces to suit different lifestyle needs, all served by a modern wet room. Upstairs, two loft style bedrooms with Velux windows and useful eaves storage offer adaptable accommodation for teenagers, guests or study or play rooms.
Pool Room
The stand-out feature of this home is the indoor leisure suite. Stretching to around 60' in length, the pool hall provides an impressive space for year-round exercise and relaxation. Bi-fold or wide glazed doors open directly on to the rear garden, allowing you to blur the line between inside and out on warmer days, while a separate side access is also available from the front of the house for added convenience. The complex also incorporates a dedicated wet room and a plant room housing the pool equipment. The swimming pool is heated via an air source heat pump, meaning it uses approximately two thirds less gas than standard heating systems, while an integrated dehumidification system helps to manage both running costs and comfort within the pool area.
Exterior
To the front, a broad paved driveway offers off street parking for four to five vehicles and includes an electric vehicle charging point.
The rear garden is a real highlight. Opening directly on to Eastwood Park, it enjoys a green and open backdrop with a real feeling of space. There is a mix of stones, seating and decked areas, together with outbuildings that can be used for storage, hobbies or as a garden bar / studio, subject to requirements. The setting is ideal for families, with the convenience of the park on your doorstep.
