A substantial period family home in premier Queens Park, updated to combine original character with contemporary living. The property centres on an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room that opens directly to a private, sunny rear garden with decked seating, a swimming pool and a garden lodge currently used as a gym or home office. A one‑bedroom self-contained annexe provides flexible accommodation for guests, older children or rental income.
Character features include a grand entrance hall with a stained-glass window, an attractive bay-windowed living room with fireplace and bespoke window seating in the principal bedroom. Practical benefits include a carriage driveway with ample off-road parking, an electric car charger, mains gas central heating and a sizeable plot suitable for family use and entertaining.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is rated D and the property sits in Council Tax Band E, which reflects higher running costs; the fuse box and heating/appliances have not been independently tested and should be checked by any purchaser. The house dates from the 1930s and some cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so there may be scope (and cost) to improve thermal performance.
Overall this freehold detached house will suit families seeking space, good local schools and adaptable layout — with the annexe and garden lodge adding long-term flexibility. The recent renovations mean much is move-in ready, but a survey is recommended to verify heating, electrics and insulation before committing.
