This three-bedroom semi-detached chalet in Hawkwell offers a spacious family layout with immediate move-in potential and scope to personalise. The house features two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms and three double bedrooms, arranged over an upstairs main bedroom and characterful family room with French doors to the garden. Offered with no onward chain and a detached garage, it suits buyers wanting straightforward possession and parking on a generous plot.
The rear garden includes paved seating areas, a summerhouse and useful outside power and water, while a wide driveway provides off-street parking. Practical fixtures include mains gas central heating and double glazing, though windows and glazing appear to pre-date 2002. The property retains mid-20th-century solid brick construction with assumed little or no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential thermal improvements.
Notable constraints are a high local flooding risk and an exterior described as dated and likely needing renovation in places. Internal accommodation is average-sized for a three-bedroom home, with some character features and storage in the eaves, but purchasers should inspect for damp or structural issues given age and flood exposure. Council tax band is affordable and the house sits in a very low-crime, affluent suburban area close to well-rated local schools and transport links.
Overall this chalet will suit growing families or buyers seeking a chain-free project with parking, garden and garage on a decent plot; it also offers renovation upside for increased comfort and energy efficiency.
