About this property

  • 12 Dane Drive is a detached property constricted of light coloured brick elevations beneath a tiled roof constructed during the early 1970's, now with double glazed windows. The property is situated close to the end of a no-through road, shared with 14 other similarly styled houses. Set back beyond an open lawned garden and double width driveway the house is accessed via a covered storm porch with quarry tiled floor into a lobby with large entrance hallway beyond.

    The ground floor has mainly original oak hardwood flooring (albeit the majority has been protected with carpet over) with two reception rooms, the sitting rooms has wide windows to the front and the dining room has glazing and glazed twin doors to the rear. The kitchen /breakfast room has a comprehensive range of fitted cabinetry and wide 'U' shaped work surfaces with integrated stainless steel oven and gas hob, fridge & freezer along with space for freestanding dish washer. Adjacent to which is a large utility room, again with a range of cabinetry and spaces for washer and separate drier. Some properties in the development have had these spaces combined to create a fantastic large open plan kitchen/family home if a different configuration is required. At first floor there are five bedrooms including three very large doubles, the principal bedroom has a good range of built-in wardrobes and a walk in closet.

    There is a family bathroom which also has a separate shower cubicle and a further family shower room, both of these have fully tiled walls and great for a family.

    Beyond the double width driveway are two single garages, one being integral to the house, these spaces might also provide scope to increase the living accommodation, subject to any consents being granted. The rear garden faces due south and backs on to neighbouring gardens giving lovely leafy views and is laid moistly to lawn with mature shrubs and trees along with a full width terrace. The property which has a gas fired central heating system is available with no onward chain and can be seen in greater detail on the attached floorplans.
