OVERVIEW
Set back from Burton Road, Hills Lea is a detached property with a fantastic garden and countryside views from virtually every window. The elevated position ensures the house is light and bright - the current owners have enhanced this with crisp white decor and bespoke glazed internal doors meaning each room makes the most of the natural light available. Immaculately presented and maintained, the layout will suit a variety of buyers. There are three bedrooms - all doubles and one of which is on the ground floor. Both shower rooms and the kitchen have been updated in recent years and have a high end finish and the kitchen has integrated appliances. The two reception spaces are perfect for relaxing and dining and there are lovely views from both. Moving outside, the property is a real surprise. Extensive well planned garden spaces extend to the front and rear, with ample parking and turning at the front and a garage. The rear garden has a lawned space, wildlife pond and generous sloping vegetable patch. Throughout the garden are many unusual specimen plants providing year round interest, many of which have been collected by the owners from travels around the UK. In summary, Hills Lea is a lovely family home with modern fittings throughout and excellent access to Oxenholme Station, primary schools, local supermarket, hospital and wider transport network.
