Description
5 Woodbourne Road is a modern detached house, occupying a particularly wide

owners have comprehensively upgraded and improved the property over the course
of the last decade to include high quality double glazing, replacement kitchen
and bathrooms, quality doors and wood flooring to the principle ground floor
rooms, upgraded gas central heating and hot water system. To the right hand
side of the property a two storey addition adds flexibility to be used as an
annex if required but presently makes for an ideal office with mezzanine area
above, used as a homework area/dressing room for bedroom 3 to which it
connects.

doors. An inner front door leads into the welcoming reception hall which has
open - tread stairs to the first floor, useful under stairs storage area, and
control panel for the intruder alarm. There is a cloakroom WC which is fully
tiled and has WC and wash basin as well as window to the front. Adjacent to
the cloakroom is an excellent study, ideal for working from home or for the
children to do their homework. This room would also make a great play room for
younger children.
The sitting room is an excellent size and has a modern electric flame effect
fire with mantle surround. The room is dual aspect with window to the front
and sliding doors to the rear leading into the conservatory which is double
glazed to all sides and has two doors to the garden, tiled floor, heating and
lighting. The dining room is semi open - plan to the sitting room by way of a
wide opening between the two rooms. The room can comfortably accommodate a
table for 8 and has a window overlooking the garden and a part - glazed door
leading into the kitchen.
The kitchen has modern white gloss fronted base and wall units with black

At the opposite end of the house to the kitchen, a door off the sitting room
leads to the two storey "annex" which includes a large room on the ground
floor with windows to front and rear and a door into the conservatory. This
spacious room is presently used as an office and has vaulted ceiling with
skylight and stairs leading up to the mezzanine room which could be an
occasional bedroom but which is currently used as a dressing room/study for
bedroom 3.

a lovely large room which spans the full width of the house and has windows to
