Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on sought-after Queenborough Lane, The Laurels is a contemporary four-bedroom detached home with substantial family appeal. The ground floor centres on a spectacular open-plan kitchen/diner with a built-in media wall and patio doors that open to a private, unoverlooked garden — ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. A separate lounge provides a cosy retreat.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with ensuite. The loft is fully boarded, lit and powered and offers real potential for conversion (subject to planning) to add value or extra living space. Practical ground-floor spaces include a utility room, oversized cloakroom and a detached double garage with an insulated electric roller shutter.
The garden is a standout: about 50ft deep, bordered by natural woodland and designed for low maintenance. A high-spec outbuilding (bar/gym/office) is fully serviced with underfloor heating, air-conditioning, hardwired internet and its own WC — versatile for work, play or rental income. Off-street parking for up to five cars completes the practical side of family life.
Factually, this mid-2000s build is double-glazed, gas-heated and freehold. Local schooling includes two Good-rated primaries but nearby secondary provision has mixed Ofsted outcomes, which families should factor into their decision. The property is presented in modern condition throughout; loft conversion or garage conversion would require the usual permissions.
Overall this home suits a family seeking contemporary, generous living in an affluent, well-connected suburb with excellent broadband and mobile coverage. It also offers attractive flexibility for home-working or leisure use via the fitted outbuilding.
