If looks can be deceiving, No.11 Talbots Gate might just be that! Behind the attractive front facade, the current owners have made numerous additions and improvements to this modern and functional family home.
Built by Talbots Grange Homes, the Talbots Gate estate was built and developed in 2005.
Carefully designed and thought through, the development boasts of a large open green area, mature planting and low maintenance attractive brick/pebble dash exteriors.
Neatly tucked away in the corner of the estate, No.11 enjoys an extra large plot with a cobble lock driveway providing off street parking for multiple vehicles.
Beyond the hall door, a front entrance hall is bright with solid timber floors and staircase to the first floor.
In to the right, the front living room is spacious with feature fireplace, inset solid fuel stove, solid timber floors and bay window with aspect to front of the house and this is where the resemblance of the original design ends.
In 2014, the current owners cleverly extended the ground floor area, commissioning the services of MRC Design Architects together with Andrew Glennon Construction.
The end result is a seamless transformation, encompassing light, modern design and a practical functionality adding an additional circa. 60 sq.m. (645 sq.ft) of floor space to the original floor area, giving a total floor area of circa.210 sq.m. ( circa.2,260 sq.ft).
Beyond the double doors from the front living-room, the new extension provides a reconfigured second reception (currently a playroom) with the addition of a large bay window allowing daylight to flood the room. Across the hall, a very practical boot room is fitted with built in bench, shoe shelving, coat hangers and storage press. A pedestrian door, leads to the outside.
Immediately adjacent, a spacious utility room is fitted with extensive contemporary wall and floor presses to include a stainless steel sink and is plumbed for laundry appliances. To the rear of the house, the extended kitchen/dining area is most impressive.
Floor to ceiling glass windows coupled with a glass roof atrium illuminate the entire area giving a wonderful feeling of space.
Definitely a cooks kitchen, the Castle Cabinets bespoke fitted wall and floor presses are finished in a mix of contemporary polished navy, white and timber finishes.
This, coupled with an all important centre island finished with white stone surfaces and various Neff integrated appliances make this kitchen the envy of many. Ideal for entertaining, the open plan arrangement from the kitchen/dining area leads to the neighboring sitting room where a continuation of the floor to ceiling windows overlook the rear gardens and patio.
An under stairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation. Up on top, the first floor landing is bright and spacious.
There are a total of 4 bedrooms facing the front and rear of the property. All bedrooms are fitted with extensive built-in sliderobes.
The master bedroom is extra large with a fully tiled en-suite shower room, heated chrome towel rail and power shower.
The attention to detail continues to the main bathroom with tastefully chosen tiled walls and floors together with modern contemporary sanitary ware.
Outside, the rear garden has been professionally landscaped with manicured lawns, raised flower beds and extensive patio which enjoys good sunshine.
There is pedestrian side access gates and a convenient bike/bin shed.
This fine family home must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
