Spacious family home is surrounded by garden

PENRAE is a superb example of an ideal family home within a short walk of Baildon village centre, and it didn't take the current owners, Mark and Liz Dearden long to find it, because it was already in the family.

"We bought it off Liz's parents who had lived there for 25 years," stays Mark.

Penrae has generous and well proportioned rooms, just right for Mark, Liz and their two daughters.

Not only is the accommodation flexible, but it comes with an impressive family oriented garden which wraps around the house.

"You enter the property through a wide inviting original front door you immediately enter the hall which we widened in 1985. To your right is a snug with living-gas fire and everyone who visits is drawn to the bay window seat.

"To your left is an extremely generous lounge with contemporary lighting by Laura Ashley, two large bays, ornate ceiling plaster work, a bar and access to the conservatory via the French windows. The Lounge also benefits from a 6KW multi-fuel stove, perfect over the Christmas holidays when the family are at home & lovely to be able to enjoy on those cold winter evenings.

"As mentioned there is access to the conservatory which in the summer months we use as a dining room and is the perfect room to enjoy a meal with family and friends, there is also access to the large side garden with a small pond and waterfall. Through the sliding doors from the conservatory you access a further reception room which is used as a dining room in the winter.

"Through a further set of French doors you enter the large dining kitchen. This is my wife’s favourite room, the kitchen was redesigned and fitted with new cream units of a traditional design with pewter contemporary handles, lightening the whole room. Off the kitchen is a utility room with tiled floor, ideal for that wet dog and soggy boots after a good walk on the nearby Shipley Glen or Baildon Moor."

The large rear patio and gardens are accessed via yet another pair of double glazed UPVC French Doors, extending the downstairs entertaining area further. The inter-connecting rooms downstairs make this home a fantastic party venue that flows allowing guests to mingle with no hiding places.

Also downstairs are two double bedrooms, one with a sink and also a traditional, fully tiled bathroom with large corner bath, shower and extractor fan.

Off the hall are the stairs which lead to the two upstairs double bedrooms, the huge master bedroom having a new contemporary en-suite bathroom comprising of a walk in shower, WC and sink with electric razor point and overhead lighting.

The master bedroom also features a walk-in wardrobe, two large and deep lit, fitted wardrobes a “Shoe Store” with access to a walk-in loft area boarded and with lighting, easy to fully utilise in any way you would want?
