This roomy four-bedroom detached home on Meares Drive offers practical family living across approximately 1,440 sq ft. The layout includes a large lounge with French doors to the garden, a second reception currently used as an office, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a ground-floor WC — all arranged for everyday family use.
Outside, the property benefits from a sizable private rear garden with dedicated vegetable planters and an enclosed area suitable for pets or a seating space. A substantial paved driveway and an integral single garage provide useful off-street parking for multiple vehicles — a notable convenience in the area.
Built in 1988 and presenting generally sound structure, the house shows areas that will benefit from routine maintenance and modest updating. The garage door and driveway show wear and the exterior landscaping is a little unkempt; the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so improving insulation could reduce running costs and boost comfort.
Located in a comfortable suburban pocket of Shaw, the property sits close to several well-rated primary schools, local shops and parkland — convenient for families. Tenure is freehold, council tax is moderate, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and there is very low local crime, making this a practical family purchase with clear potential to modernise and add value.
