A spacious four-bedroom detached home on a large southerly plot, offered chain free and available for the first time in nearly 45 years. The house sits in a quiet, affluent residential area close to highly rated schools, the town centre and surrounding countryside — a strong location for families seeking space and privacy.
The house retains attractive mid‑century character including exposed beams, a substantial sitting room with fireplace, separate snug and a large open-plan dining area. Solid structural features (cavity walls, double glazing, gas boiler and radiators) give a good base for updating, while the wide layout and deep rear garden offer clear scope to remodel or extend, subject to consents.
Material points to note: the property requires full modernisation throughout and the current configuration provides one main family bathroom plus cloakrooms. EPC is D with potential to improve to C. It is a probate sale and the seller requests best-and-final offers by 12 noon on 20 August 2025. Council Tax is Band F — running costs will be higher than average.
This house will suit a family or buyer looking to create a bespoke long-term home or an investor/developer prepared to refurbish. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the size, garden aspect and adaptation potential.
