Characterful two-bedroom detached home with large gardens and garage near Belfairs Woods.
Detached two-bedroom dormer bungalow on a large plot (969 sq ft)
This generous mid-20th-century detached home sits on a large plot in the Belfairs Estate, offering clear appeal to families or downsizers seeking space and outdoor variety. The house provides two double bedrooms, two reception rooms plus a conservatory, a garage and multiple outdoor spaces — front and rear gardens plus two small courtyards and a summerhouse — all on a substantial overall footprint of about 969 sq ft.
Internally the layout is versatile: a large living room with French doors to the rear garden, separate dining room with French doors to the front garden, a study area, kitchen, cloakroom and a spiral staircase up to two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property benefits from seven bay windows and double glazing fitted during/after 2002, and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Practical points to note: the home was constructed in the 1950–1966 period and has cavity walls assumed to be without added insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be worthwhile. There is a single bathroom for two bedrooms and the distinctive spiral staircase could be restrictive for some. Council tax is moderate and the home is freehold with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Location strengths include proximity to Belfairs Woods and Nature Reserve, local shops and bus links, and a selection of nearby primary and secondary schools (three rated Good/Outstanding). The house’s substantial outdoor space, garage and flexible interiors make it well suited to buyers wanting a characterful, roomy home with scope to modernise and reduce running costs through insulation improvements.
