This spacious five-bedroom detached home on Higham Road combines generous living space with a rare separate two-bedroom annex — ideal for large families, multigenerational households, or rental income. Set behind private electric gates, the long driveway provides secure off-street parking for several vehicles and direct access to a large rear garden for outdoor family use.
Internally the house offers large reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast space and a galleried landing that floods the entrance with light. The annex is self-contained with its own kitchen, lounge, two bedrooms and bathroom, giving genuine flexibility for guests, older relatives or short-term letting.
Buyers should note the property was constructed around 1930–1949 and, while well maintained in appearance, may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades: cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing install date is unknown. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider local area scores as deprived, although crime is low and local broadband and mobile signals are strong.
This is a substantial family home on a large plot in a comfortable neighbourhood with good primary and outstanding secondary schooling nearby. The annex and extensive parking are standout features, but expect to budget for insulation, potential heating/efficiency improvements and ongoing maintenance associated with an older, sizeable property.
