Set back behind an in-and-out block-paved driveway, this 1930s detached family home offers generous, flexible accommodation across two floors. The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility, a ground-floor shower room and four first-floor bedrooms — a practical plan for growing families. Large bay windows and good ceiling heights provide generous natural light throughout.
The house sits on a substantial plot with a tandem garage and a rear garden, and there is scope to extend to the side or rear subject to planning consent. Modern essentials are in place: mains gas heating, boiler and radiators, majority double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are both strong for home working and study.
The property requires updating and cosmetic renovation, and the solid-brick walls are assumed to lack insulation — improvement works would both modernise and add value. Council tax is above average; buyers should factor refurbishment costs and possible insulation or electrical upgrades into budgets. Overall, this is a roomy, well-located family house with clear potential to enlarge and modernise to suit contemporary family life.
