An Edwardian three-bedroom detached home on Highfield Road offering generous living space and practical outdoor parking. The house retains period character—bay windows, high ceilings and original proportions—combined with an extended living/dining room that opens via bi-fold doors to a wide rear garden and composite decking. A tidy layout includes a front lounge, extended kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and useful loft room off bedroom two ideal for storage or a small study.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for several cars, a carport accessed via double gates, a large powered timber shed, and a decent 0.07-acre plot that suits family life and entertaining. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, local schools (including two outstanding secondaries) are nearby, and there is no flood risk.
Notable concerns are straightforward: the property has a single bathroom only, the listed main heating is electric storage heaters (the particulars also reference a Worcester boiler—buyers should verify heating/fuel details), and the local area records higher crime levels. The house dates from the early 20th century and, while well-presented in places, may benefit from updating or modernisation to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.
This home will suit families seeking period character and space close to schools and town amenities, or buyers wanting a period property with scope to improve heating and finishes. Council Tax Band C keeps running costs reasonable for the area.
