This substantial six-bedroom detached home on Marwell Drive sits on a large corner plot and is offered chain-free on Freehold tenure. Arrival is impressive: a gated entrance, huge driveway with space for multiple cars and a double garage provide excellent off-street parking and storage for a busy family.
Inside, generous room proportions and characterful fixtures create flexible living for family life — formal and informal spaces suit children, visitors and home working. The private gardens wrap around the house, offering safe outdoor space, room for play and scope for landscaping or extension subject to permissions.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and no flooding risk. Local schools rated Good are nearby, and the property sits in a comfortable neighbourhood popular with older workers and retirees, making it well placed for family buyers seeking space and stability.
Buyers should note some material cost considerations: the property sits in a high-crime ward and attracts quite expensive council tax (Band G). The setting and size bring ongoing maintenance and running costs typical of a large family home. Early viewing recommended to appreciate scale, layout and garden potential.
