54 Azalea Close is an attractive detached family residence, that offers a range of flexible and modern accommodation over three light-filled floors.

The bright central hallway with its lofty double-height ceiling, stairway to the first floor, store cupboard and cloakroom opens to a large converted front-facing sitting room. There is also an open-plan family room with French doors to the terrace and rich herringbone flooring flowing into the formal dining room with its feature fireplace. The 24 ft. kitchen/breakfast room also benefits from double doors to the garden and ample space for informal mealtimes, as well as an array of chic shaker-style cabinetry, a range of modern integrated appliances and a useful adjoining utility room.

The spacious first-floor level houses four adaptable rooms, one of which is currently being used as a home gymnasium, and a sleek family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms enjoy contemporary en suite shower rooms, with the principal suite also having built-in wardrobe storage. Rising to the second floor, there is a practical store room, a shower room and a roomy additional dual skylit bedroom.
