A detached four-bedroom home in a private cul-de-sac off Lyncombe Vale Road.
Built in 1980, number three Combeside is one of four detached properties in a quiet cul-de-sac.Inside, a generous hallway has several steps up to the main landing with a WC and understairs storage. Kåhrs walnut flooring flows through the ground floor: to the left is the living room, with dual aspect glazing: windows have views to the front garden and to the rear doors provide access onto a small terrace. A wood burning fire with log store, is built into the chimney breast. Across the hall, the kitchen/dining/family room is impressive with glazed doors opening onto a large terrace at the front, additional glazed doors at the rear and a snug connecting the two spaces, making the most of the light from different aspects, including the lantern roof window in the family room. A utility room is tucked away behind the kitchen.Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite has slick storage across one wall and a balcony with room for seating to enjoy the views across the gardens and trees. The neutral ensuite is well thought out. The minimal design includes twin basins, wall-hung units and large Mandarin Stone tiling. The family bathroom is of a similar design, and two of the remaining three bedrooms also have floor-to-ceiling wardrobes with sliding doors. Further storage is on the first floor landing, with an airing cupboard. It is worth noting this property's green credentials. It has an air-sourced heat pump that powers the central heating system and provides hot water, with 24 solar panels on the south-facing roof and energy storage in a 4.5KW battery all helping to keep energy costs to a minimum. The loft space is fully boarded out and houses the water tank.Gardens and GroundsSurrounded by trees and greenery, the setting at Combeside is a rural idyll. At the front, the boundaries of the four properties are noted by hedging and paths, not fencing or gates. There's parking for several cars on the driveway and in front of the garage where there's an electric car charging point. An air-conditioned room previously used as an office, is adjacent to the garage, above which is an extensive, south facing composite-decked terrace. The south-facing front garden is mostly lawn with a Willow tree and attractive meadow wildflower planting encircling it. Beyond a small stream, the garden continues, and is mostly trees and mature shrubs. There's access at the side of the house up to the rear garden terraces, each flanked by tanalised oak sleepers. The first two terraces are lawned with paths on both sides, one leading to a charming 'fairy tale' style tree house. The next terrace is pebbled and features a summerhouse and hot tub and further terraces include a greenhouse, shed and mini orchard. A gate at the top leads to a narrow path providing walking access to Greenway Lane and beyond.
