Churches Estate Agents are delighted to present this beautifully modernised and extended family home. 8 St. Fintan’s Villas has been smartly updated to provide flexible living spaces, a practical garden, plentiful storage and four bedrooms. Extending to 114 sqm, this semi-detached two-storey home has been throughly opened up and refurbished from top to bottom. From the street, the property is incredibly private behind its high front hedge and entrance gate. The front garden area provides ample space for bike parking and more. Entering into the property through the front porch, you are immediately welcomed by the bright, open-planing kitchen-living space. This is literally the heart of the home, centred around a fabulous kitchen with island unit, dining room table plus a family sitting area near the wood-burning stove. The generous kitchen is beautifully finished in white corian-style worktops and modern no-handle cabinet doors in a complementary stone colour. This room is flooded with delight through the front-facing sash windows. From the kitchen-living room, glass double doors lead into the main central hallway. This is flooded with light from a high ceiling skylight, filtered down through the striking glass-balustrade staircase and landing. To the side there is a secondary entrance door, leading from the private side passage. Opposite there are two spacious storage presses, and a utility press with stacked washer and dryer. Also off the hallway there is the main family bathroom, featuring a full-sized bath with stand-in shower, with a glass shower screen. The bathroom is finished with a large full-length mirror and fresh neutral tile colour scheme. To the rear of the Ground Floor, there are two rooms providing flexible accommodation. To the right, currently used as a secondary living room, this bright room opens out via double doors to the rear garden patio. To the left, a large double-height room is currently enjoyed as the master-bedroom, with floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, bright skylight, and double doors to garden patio. Up the glass-sided staircase, a landing leads you to three single bedrooms to the front of the house. This provides flexible options if a larger bedroom, home office or alternative use was desired. There is a second large family bathroom, with bath, stand-in shower with glass screen, vanity etc. also bright from the large skylights. Finally, to the side there is an additional slim space, currently used as a small private office, which could be useful as storage, a walk-in wardrobe etc. The first floor landing has a generous hot-press with combi-boiler and plentiful drying shelf sapce, plus there is a small attic above the bedrooms for storage. Heading outside, the rear garden is a perfect private sanctuary, loving laid out for practical low-maintenance use. A large patio and BBQ area is immediately behind the back doors of the house are the perfect spot to soak up any afternoon and evening sun. This includes large built-in bedders to make for attractive borders. A neat rectangle of lawn is great for the kids, while a short gravel path leads to the final fantastic feature of the property – a large 25sqm shed. Currently divided in two, laid out for storage and a ’home bar’ area, this additional space has unlimited potential. Well insulated, powered and with double glazing plus three rooflights, it could be a fabulous home office, gym, kids playroom, man cave or just excellent additional storage. The back of the garden here catches the sun for most of the day. 8 St. Fintans Villas have been lovingly modernised and rearranged by the present owners, including multiple upgrades including additional insulation, double glazing, new rooflights and high quality kitchen and bathroom finishes.
