Description

4 Elm Lodge Road was built in 2000 and is of brick and block construction with rendered elevations under a pitch tiled roof. It has been extremely well maintained during the owner’s tenure and of particular note are the windows, many of which have been replaced in recent years.

A porch leads to the oak front door which opens to a spacious entrance hallway. The well laid out accommodation benefits from oak flooring throughout the ground floor, with the exception of the kitchen and utility room which are tiled. A door from the hallway leads to the kitchen which has windows to the front and side and French doors opening to the rear garden. There is a double butler sink and a range of matching low-level wood fronted cupboards with Corian worksurfaces. The electric cooker sits under a red brick fireplace which has tiled splashbacks and an integrated extractor fan above. There is also an integrated dishwasher. The sitting room has a window to the rear and French style doors opening to the garden. An inglenook fireplace with an oak bressummer creates a focal point for the room. From here there is the dining room which has a bay window overlooking the garden. Also accessed from the hallway is the study which has a window to the rear. From the kitchen, a door leads to the utility room which has a window to the front and a door which provides access to the garden.
