Skeins Way, Clavering, CB11 4PH

The present owners have put a great deal of time and thought into this house, and it shows from the moment you step inside. Storage has been built in throughout, planned to take a family of five, and panelled walls give the main rooms a depth and character you would not expect from the outside.

A canopied front door opens into an entrance hall with wood-effect flooring and the staircase to the first floor. To one side is the reception room, almost 23 feet long and lit by windows on two sides, with a panelled feature wall and fitted cupboards and shelving in the alcoves. The kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style units, marble-effect worktops and built-in appliances, with open timber shelving and metro-tiled splashbacks. It leads through to the dining room at the back of the house, which has a door out to the terrace, and on to a utility and cloakroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a full wall of fitted wardrobes and a panelled wall behind the bed. The second bedroom is a good double and the third a comfortable single or study. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath behind a glass screen.

Outside, a gravelled front garden with planted beds leads along the side of the house to a gate into the rear garden, which is fully fenced and laid mainly to lawn, with a paved terrace, a raised dining terrace and a timber shed.
