For some homeowners, a programme of modernisation and updating might just mean a lick of paint and a few new kitchen cupboards.

But the project undertaken at a property in Homefield Road, Drayton, was just a shade more extensive.

Now the former bungalow boasts four bedrooms as part of its sumptuous accommodation with fantastic living space that even includes a home office.

Behind the two bay windows at the front at two bedrooms, each with wardrobes fitted with sliding doors along one wall. They are separated by a hallway across the ground floor from the living space that starts with a family bathroom to one side and the office to the other.

Angled doors then open to reveal a living room on the left and the L-shaped kitchen / breakfast / family room on the right, a superbly equipped living space with roof and floor to ceiling triple French windows to flood it with natural daylight. There are further folding doors that allow the living room to be added into the space.

Stairs at the far end of the hallway rise to a first floor landing with a bedroom to the front and a master suite behind with a freestanding bath and cloakroom facilities.

“This is a very clever way to create a vast amount of extras space without the house looking overpowering or out of proportion when viewed from the road,” explains Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern estate agents in Drayton.

“The planning of the property’s remodelling has ensured plenty of space was created to incorporate all the necessary elements for comfortable family living. So often there has to be a compromise between what’s desired and what’s achievable but this is a home that, quite literally, delivers on every level.”

In addition to its internal delights, the house has off-road parking to the front and side while at the rear there’s a large paved terrace adjacent to the dining room. The terrace extends back into a long lawn that connects to a raised decking area that forms the approach to a chalet with a covered veranda.

With both Springfield and Court Lane schools close by, together with excellent transport links, the house enjoys a highly convenient location.

Guide price is £385,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk<
