A handsome early-1900s detached house in the heart of Fordham, offering generous family living across roughly 1,518 sq ft. The ground floor centres on a bright open-plan living/dining room with engineered oak floors, high ceilings and French doors to a south-facing garden — a practical, sociable layout for everyday life and entertaining. The cellar provides a large, usable space currently in use as a playroom/study, adding flexible accommodation.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with a claw-foot bath. Outside there is a large driveway with gated access, a detached double garage with vaulted ceiling and a timber workshop with power and light — strong practical benefits for car owners, hobbyists or home businesses. The substantial rear plot is south-facing and mainly lawned, with a paved seating area and greenhouse.
There is potential to extend subject to planning (STP), which will appeal to buyers seeking to increase space or add value. Note the house is solid-brick as built (circa 1900) and no insulation is assumed in the walls; double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators.
This property suits families wanting village life close to good schools, or buyers looking for a character home with scope to modernise and extend. Important practical considerations include the single family bathroom, potential wall insulation/upgrades and the need to confirm any refurbishment works and planning for extensions before purchase.
