Tucked into a small, private cluster of detached homes in Brockholes, this four-bedroom detached house sits on a notably large plot with far-reaching views and a secluded ‘secret’ garden. The layout delivers practical family living: a generous lounge, separate dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility, conservatory and an integral double garage with plentiful driveway parking. The master bedroom includes an ensuite; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Solar panels, gas central heating and double glazing are already in place.
The gardens are a standout feature — a sun-trap lawned rear garden edged by mature planting, two useful outbuildings and a banked area with a stream, former vegetable beds and fruit trees. The property is a short walk from the primary school and train station, making daily routines straightforward for families. No vendor chain offers a simpler purchase timetable.
The house has been well maintained by the long-term owners but offers clear scope to update and extend (subject to planning) to match contemporary tastes and add value. Practical notes: broadband speeds in the area are slow, and council tax is high; buyers wanting ultra-fast home working should plan accordingly. Built in the 1980s, the property is comfortable now but likely to benefit from cosmetic modernisation in parts.
Overall this is a family-oriented home offering space, privacy and scope — ideal for buyers seeking a substantial plot, good local schools and easy rail links, and for those willing to invest modestly to modernise and personalise the interior.
