About the Home
Making an immediate impact with its attractive double-fronted design and welcoming covered porch, The Lorimer is a 4-bedroom home that continues to impress as it unfolds. Thoughtful and modern features, such as two en suites, are complimented by traditional touches like the separate living room and integral garage, making The Lorimer a highly-desirable home for growing families and those with older children who would appreciate their own space.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and family area extends the full width of the home at the rear, and will effortlessly bring the household together to cook, dine and relax. Attractive, centrally-located French doors open onto the rear garden and provide fantastic views from the dining area, which is large enough to accommodate a family-sized dining table, with room for additional guests on those special occasions. The family area is versatile, and can be made cosy and inviting with the addition of a sofa or two, or alternatively, it could become a dedicated play space for younger family members to enjoy while you keep a close eye from the kitchen.
The separate utility room is accessed through the kitchen, making laundry days easier and helping to keep cleaning essentials well-organised and safely out of sight.
Situated at the front of the home is the formal living room, with a picture window that draws in plenty of light. The entrance hallway also gives access to the cloakroom and a convenient understairs storage cupboard, as well as the garage
On the first floor, bedrooms 1 and 2 benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while the third and fourth bedrooms share use of the family bathroom Bedroom 4 would be perfect for use as a nursery or younger child’s room, or as a home office, for buyers embracing the remote working lifestyle. The finishing touch to the upstairs is a storage cupboard on the landing, which is a welcome feature for keeping towels, bed linens and other household essentials within easy reach.
