This recently renovated four-bedroom detached house on Straight Road offers versatile living across two floors, suited to growing families seeking space and modern comforts. High-quality finishes include solid oak flooring, integrated appliances, double glazing, and professionally fitted air conditioning in the living room, office and garden annex. A generous east-facing rear garden with Indian stone patio, sunken seating and a garden annex provides private outdoor living and a useful home-office or studio space.
Practical day-to-day living is well considered: a large kitchen/dining room with utility, a spacious light-filled living room with bi-fold doors to the garden, and downstairs bedroom/office and shower room for flexible use. Off-street parking for multiple cars, a detached garage with an alarmed electric roller door, monitored alarm system covering house and outbuildings, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern family life and remote working.
The property sits on a large plot in an affluent area with very low crime and no flood risk. Constructed in the 1930s-1940s, it retains period character while benefitting from recent comprehensive redecoration, new doors, window upgrades and recent external improvements. Council tax is above average — an important ongoing cost to factor in — and the multi-storey layout means there are stairs between principal living areas and bedrooms.
Overall this home will suit families who value spacious, upgraded accommodation with separate annex space and substantial outdoor areas. It also offers potential for further personalisation where desired, though buyers should budget for routine maintenance typical of a house of this age despite the recent renovations.
