This substantial 1930s detached family home blends period character with contemporary living across spacious, well-proportioned rooms. The ground floor offers two sitting rooms, separate dining room, refitted kitchen and utility; upstairs there are four good-sized bedrooms including a principal with en suite. Minton-style entrance detail, multi‑fuel stoves and bay windows preserve original charm while modern fittings provide everyday comfort.
Outside, the house sits on a large plot with extensive lawned and mature garden areas, an impressive block-paved driveway behind electric gates and a single garage with remote roller door. Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband — useful for home working and family life — plus very low flood risk and generally low local crime.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property discharges to its own Klargester sewage system rather than mains sewers, and the solid brick construction is assumed to have no cavity insulation. Council Tax Band F makes running costs higher than average. Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home in a desirable market — best appreciated in person, so viewing is strongly recommended.
