Running Well, Wickford

Situated on the sought-after St Luke's Park development, this exceptional Five Bedroom Detached home offers a perfect blend of space, style, and modern living.

Set back from the road on arguably the development's most generous plot, the property immediately impresses with its expansive frontage (parking for 7 cars) and substantial grounds.

The Countryside Homes 'Sycamore' design showcases thoughtful design across three floors, delivering a home that seamlessly combines functionality with contemporary elegance. The ground floor unfolds with a welcoming Entrance Hall with a large Cloakroom/WC, spacious Lounge featuring a charming woodburning Stove, and a show-stopping open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room with an adjoining Utility Room. The on-trend kitchen boasts a substantial island and top-tier Siemens appliances, while the matching utility room provides additional practicality.

Bedroom accommodation is equally impressive with up on the First Floor a spectacular Master Bedroom Suite complete with a walk-through Dressing Area and an enormous Ensuite Bathroom. Two additional bedrooms (one also with its own private Ensuite Shower Room) and a large Family Bathroom, completes this level. The Top Floor reveals two more double bedrooms sharing a modern shower room.

Another great feature is the cedar-clad Garden Cabin fully insulated with independent electricity, offering versatile additional space for work, hobby, or relaxation. The double garage and generously proportioned garden further enhance the property's appeal.

Interestingly, these are known as a Countryside 'Forever Home', and evidently there is even the provision within the flooring design of installing a lift from the Lounge to the bedroom above, so it really can be.

St Luke's Park has quickly become a sought after separate community with its own purpose built road and residents benefit from local amenities including the convenient on-site St Luke's Park Primary School, a local Co-op and a 15 minute peak bus service takes you to Wickford Railway Station, making this more than just a house it's a comprehensive lifestyle opportunity.

Stairs from First Floor Landing return up to the:


SECOND FLOOR LANDING

The front-facing window on the half landing picture-frames the beautiful front Oak Tree and looking up, the vaulted ceiling gives extra appeal too.

Up here are two further double bedrooms and a shared Shower Room.



BEDROOM FOUR 11ft narrowing to 10ft x 10ft 2" (3.35m narrowing to 3.05m x 3.10m)

The measurements of this rear-facing double bedroom exclude the walk-in dormer window, which being up on the second floor, enjoys a slightly elevated outlook with country glimpses through the roofs of the houses opposite.

DOUBLE GARAGE 23ft 6" x 18ft (7.16m x 5.49m)

An excellent size double garage, slightly larger than normal as well

There are twin up-and-over doors, a rear window and part-glazed back door providing plenty of natural light, and here we find the Potterton Promax boiler serving the gas central heating and hot water.


EXTERIOR - FRONT

As previously mentioned, this is the largest plot of the development. So not only does it have a larger than average rear garden, but the biggest front grounds by a long way, thus boasting a huge drive as it is set back so much from the main road.

The centerpiece of the Front is the visually appealing Oak Tree, which looks impressive at all times of the year as professional lighting has been installed around it, lighting it up at night too.



EXTERIOR - REAR GARDEN

The slate-look patio extends round the side of the property, where there is a surprising amount of extra space, perfect for storage or maybe even as a spot for a barbecue or outdoor kitchen. This area is due south facing too, so an absolute suntrap.

The Main Garden is just as sunny and a real haven of relaxation during the summer months.

We noted external lighting, an outside tap and gated access on the left-hand side.



GARDEN CABIN 17ft 7" x 11ft 1" (5.4m x 3.4m)

The centerpiece of the garden is the beautiful cabin, resplendent in its cedar cladding.

Anthracite bi-folding doors and a tall side window makes it particularly well lit, and it comes with full insulation, power (on a separate consumer unit) and lighting.

With attractive grey oak laminate flooring and wiring for wall-mounted TV.
