Buyers should note the house was constructed in the 1930–1949 period with timber-frame walls and no confirmed modern insulation (assumed), so there may be thermal and maintenance considerations. The interior shows some dated fittings and décor and would benefit from modernization to suit contemporary tastes. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall this property will suit families seeking flexible space, large outdoor area and strong parking/garage facilities, with scope to update and add value.
