This substantial Victorian detached home on Doveston Road blends original period detail with contemporary family living across four floors. Set on a large, private plot with mature trees, the house offers generous reception rooms, a modern extended family room with vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors, and a south-facing rear garden ideal for outdoor family time.
Accommodation includes five/six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a lower-ground cellar conversion currently used for laundry and utility space — useful for busy households. The fitted kitchen and family room provide modern finishes and underfloor heating to parts of the ground floor, while many original features remain: high cornices, sash windows and stripped floors that add character throughout.
Practical positives include a detached double garage, long driveway, excellent local schools and fast broadband in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood. The property is offered freehold and chain free, simplifying a prompt move for families wanting space close to Sale town centre and commuter links.
Important practical points: the EPC is rated F and the property is built with solid brick walls (insulation assumptions apply), so energy efficiency improvements are likely to be needed. Council Tax sits at Band E. Overall, this is a large, characterful family home with strong scope to improve running costs and tailor the space further to modern standards.
