Detached family home on the edge of Forest Moor countryside

Sitting well back from busy roads, on a short track with no through traffic, 2 Forest Gardens is a detached home designed for modern family life in a private and secluded setting.

First views of the 2 Forest Gardens are impressive, this is a large home on a sizeable plot, with gardens and open space for the whole family to enjoy. Park on either of the driveways and step inside.

The kitchen at 2 Forest Gardens certainly has the 'wow' factor, sleek work surfaces and glossy units complement high-quality appliances, and the room is bathed in natural light from roof windows in a double-height ceiling. This is great room for the family to gather in whilst preparing a meal, chatting at the breakfast island, or relaxing in the snug, kept warm by the underfloor heating.

A separate utility room at the rear takes care of kitchen storage and laundry, and doubles as a boot room when coming home from country walks.

Enter the main living space, a stylish sitting room joined by an archway through to a gem of a dining room, with windows to all sides, and double doors opening out to the south-facing garden. A wonderful space in which to entertain, or enjoy family meals, and then retire to the comfort of the sitting room behind.

The ground floor has two double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, and these rooms share a very stylish modern bathroom. If ground floor living is what you need, you will be very comfortable here at Forest Gardens.

The bespoke staircase leading to the upper floor is a beautiful feature, this home has clearly been renovated and extended with a lot of thought and care. Upstairs there are two further bedrooms, one a large double room with built-in wardrobes, and plenty of space for bedroom furniture. Along the landing from a glamorous modern shower room is a guest bedroom which could easily be a home office, study, or nursery.

The upper bedrooms look out over a railway track at the rear of the property, a trainspotter's dream! Although you can see the trains trundling by, excellent double glazing insulates these rooms very well from the sound, and reflective window film provides total privacy.

Outside, the large, detached garage is an imposing feature. It has ample room for two vehicles, storage above, and further space for an office or workshop or possibly even a guest suite. Maybe a holiday let?

Forest Gardens is a unique family home in a lovely location, so close to schools, shops, and travel networks, yet with an edge-of-the-country feel, could this be your perfect next home?
