This recently renovated four-bedroom detached house offers a ready-to-move-in family layout with contemporary finishes and practical living spaces. An open-plan kitchen/diner/family room with bi-fold doors creates a bright social hub that flows onto a low-maintenance, south-facing garden—ideal for children and outdoor gatherings. A separate living room, ground-floor WC and utility room add everyday convenience.
The property benefits from sensible upgrades including a combi boiler installed in 2024 and double glazing throughout. A driveway and detached garage provide secure parking and storage, while the plot size feels generous for the neighbourhood. Good local primary and secondary schools are within reach, and the home sits in a well-connected area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Buyers should weigh local context alongside the house’s strengths: the immediate area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime statistics and wider community indicators described as challenged. The home is freehold and presented in modern neutral decor, representing a practical family purchase rather than a countryside retreat or low-crime enclave.
Overall, this property suits families seeking a turnkey, spacious house with contemporary living spaces, school access and parking, who are comfortable buying into a busy conurbation with known area-level challenges.
