If you're searching for a family home and appreciate good outside space, like a cul-de-sac position and want to entertain guests long into the evening - then this 'chain free' Nunnery Drive home should be on your viewing shortlist! There's even the potential to extend (subject to planning).

Imagine stargazing with friends and dining alfresco long into the evening whatever the weather - because that's precisely what's on offer here. 'The Gin Chandelier Palace' was created for just that. It's a brick and timber structure with a sloping tiled roof, outside power and lighting.

On a summer evening, it offers perfectly framed views of the garden and allows a gentle breeze to pass through. During those cold winter evenings, throw a few logs onto the wood burner, turn the solid timber blinds and grab a throw and glass of your favourite tipple and curl up in the cosy seating area with a good book - there's even a wind shield to keep the breeze out, too.

The main home won't fail to impress either, it is gas centrally heated and the hot water cylinder and pump have been replaced in recent years, as have the double glazed windows and doors and the consumer unit for the electrics.

Let's take a walk through...

Welcomed into a spacious hallway with solid wood flooring from the composite entrance door there are stairs to the first floor and doors leading to the ground floor accommodation. The cloakroom can be found to the right, a modern white suite with a vanity sink unit, subway style tiling and WC with oak effect flooring.

The kitchen has been handcrafted by a local Barnham-based carpenter and finished in a cottage style, perfectly complimented by the quarry tiled flooring. A Corian worktop extends around into a breakfast bar seating area and has a countersunk one and a half bowl sink unit with an integrated drainer, positioned beneath the window overlooking the rear garden.

Carefully crafted wall-to-wall cabinetry conceals a full height built-in fridge and separate freezer, as well as a central unit for the microwave and coffee machine, ensuring they are out of sight. There is space too, for an electric oven and dishwasher.

The utility room makes for a great storage area too. With cupboards beneath a butcher block work surface with an inset Butler-style sink, there is plenty of space for hanging your jackets, a pamment tiled floor and space for the washing machine. It is here where you will find the consumer unit and main gas boiler.

A useful side lobby then provides access to the front (and on into the garage) or to the rear garden. On the right is a formal dining space which comfortably seats eight for those all-important family gatherings, although this room could serve many purposes.

To the left of the entrance is the office/study which comfortably houses a large desk unit and full-height bookshelves.

The lounge is an impressive size and sees a continuation of the solid wood flooring from the hallway, with plenty of space allowing for flexible furniture arrangement centred around the focal point of the multi-fuel burner and decorative stone fire surround. With smooth skim ceiling and ceiling roses around the light fittings, this stylishly presented room runs the full depth of the property with French-style doors leading directly into covered outdoor entertaining space - the aptly named Gin Chandelier Palace!

On the first floor, the landing offers useful storage with space for the condenser dryer, access to the loft and an airing cupboard.

Replicating the footprint of the lounge, the principal bedroom is an impressive size with built-in Romeo & Juliet double wardrobe cupboards into the front eaves. A period-style white en suite has geometric tiled flooring, WC, wash basin and bath with shower over.

Both the second and third bedrooms are double rooms with built-in storage, and the fourth bedroom is a good sized single room.

Completing the accommodation is the recently remodelled shower room with ornate geometric tiled effect flooring, complimented by the stone effect light grey shower surround. The suite has a fully tiled shower with a rainwater head shower and a separate mixer, WC and pedestal wash basin.

To the front, there is driveway parking leading to the double garage (with electric door), a path to the entrance and side, and the remainder is laid mainly to lawn.

Aside from the covered outdoor entertainment area with a wood burner, there is also a barbecue area with an adjacent summerhouse/bar with provisions for the outdoor fridge/freezer, several lawn garden areas (as both formal outside space and areas for the children to play) and an insulated log cabin which has power and light, used currently as a playroom, and separate timber shed.

This family home has so much to offer and should be viewed internally to be appreciated fully.
