Situated on a generous corner plot sits the immaculately presented 38 Laichpark Road in the popular area of Chesser to the West of the city centre. The property has been significantly enlarged and thoughtfully upgraded to an impressively high standard by the current owners, creating a dining room, an additional bedroom, dressing room and ensuite, in addition to solid oak finishes, a sophisticated, enlarged modern kitchen and adding a delightful conservatory.
The front door opens onto a bright entrance vestibule, which in turn opens on to the bright south facing sitting room which has been enlarged to maximise space, whilst continuing to create a very comfortable and engaging space. Natural light floods through the room from both the front and rear, with double doors opening onto the lovely conservatory.
The spacious, stylish contemporary kitchen has been enlarged to create a generous place for all inhabitants of the home to congregate, with sleek cabinetry fitted by Kitchens International and equipped with Siemens integrated appliances which comprise: electric induction hob, eye level oven and microwave, dishwasher, extractor hood, fridge/freezer and a Quooker tap in addition to a waste disposal unit. There is also a handy utility cupboard with a washer dryer and housing the boiler.
At ground level, there is also a large, light dining room with an appealing outlook to the front of the property, a WC and a good sized under stair storage cupboard.
On the first floor, the bright principal bedroom is situated to the front of the property, benefitting from a large dressing room area and an extremely desirable en-suite shower room (with large rainfall shower cubicle, wash hand basin & WC). The second bedroom has plenty of storage, benefitting from fitted mirrored wardrobes which bounce light into the room. There are also two further bedrooms (of which one is currently used as a dressing room) and additional storage cupboards. Overhead there are two attics, both accessed by Ramsay ladders (one floored, one partially floored). A large shower room (with WC and wash hand basin) completes the internal accommodation. Heating and hot water are provided by gas central heating and there is double glazing.
Sweeping through the landscaped front garden is an extensive monobloc driveway with ample space for two cars, whilst a large shed (10’ x 6’) is situated to the side of the house. Last, but by no means least is the charming rear garden, impeccably presented with a lovely mix of established plants, bushes and shrubs in the borders in addition to a substantial lawn and patio area. Unrestricted parking is also available on the street outside.
