Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Wixams, this five-bedroom detached house offers a practical family layout with modern finishes and easy access to local amenities. The generous kitchen/breakfast room runs across the rear of the property and creates a bright, sociable heart for daily life, supported by a separate utility and cloakroom for everyday convenience.
Upstairs provides five well-sized bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities, plus a family bathroom — a configuration that suits growing families or those needing flexible bedrooms for a home office. The front driveway provides off-street parking and the rear garden is well maintained, offering a private outdoor space for children and pets.
Buyers should note a portion of the garage has been converted to create additional internal space, which reduces covered parking and may limit garage use. The property is described as small overall despite its five bedrooms, and council tax is above average. Local services are strong — fast broadband, very low crime and lakeside leisure nearby — though the nearest state secondary has a Requires Improvement Ofsted rating.
Offered on a freehold basis with no flood risk, this home suits families prioritising location, flexible living space and low-crime village life, while willing to accept the trade-offs around parking, size perception and local school performance.
