Set on Woodland Avenue and less than two minutes’ walk from Abington Park, this 1930s detached home offers more than 2,500 sq ft of versatile family space across three floors. The ground floor includes a bright lounge, separate family room, modern kitchen/diner, utility and handy laundry/WC, while upstairs the master benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and large ensuite. A fifth bedroom occupies the second floor, ideal for guests or a home office.
Outside there’s a wide driveway leading to an integral garage and a large, enclosed rear garden — rare for the area and great for children or entertaining. The property retains period features such as bay windows, fireplaces and high ceilings in parts, blended with contemporary fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting modern working-from-home needs.
Practical notes: the house is pebble-dash with traditional chimneys and dates from the 1930s, so some external and period maintenance should be anticipated. The neighbourhood is mixed — predominantly multi-ethnic professionals and families, with many nearby terraces and flats — and recorded local crime is above average, which buyers should weigh against the convenient, central location. Schools nearby include several rated Good and Outstanding.
This freehold property is well suited to a growing family wanting space near green amenities and strong transport links, or to buyers seeking a period home with potential to update further. The generous plot and parking add clear long-term value, while the age and character of the house bring maintenance responsibilities that reflect its era.
