This handsome Victorian semi combines period charm with thoughtful contemporary updates across 1,627 sq ft, positioned in Preston Park’s sought-after Golden Triangle. High ceilings, a generous bay-fronted living room and a full-width kitchen/dining extension create strong entertaining and family spaces that flow easily to a landscaped, west-facing garden. A discreet utility/boot room, cellar and loft conversion add useful versatility for growing households.
Practical points are straightforward: there is a single family bathroom plus a ground-floor WC, permit parking on-street (Zone J) and Council Tax Band E. The front plot is compact, though well planted for kerb appeal; the property’s solid brick walls (as built) suggest limited cavity insulation and potential for future energy-efficiency upgrades.
Located between Fiveways and Preston Park, the house suits families who want space close to good schools, green spaces and direct trains to London. Local shops, cafés and Blakers Park are an easy walk away, and the layout supports home working, flexible bedrooms and sociable living.
In short: a characterful, move-in family home with excellent entertaining space and garden, plus clear areas to consider — mainly insulation, a single bathroom and on-street parking with permits.
