Set on an established road near the golf course, this imposing five-bedroom detached house offers strong potential for a spacious family home or a resale/investment opportunity. The property retains period character throughout — bay windows, parquet flooring and multiple fireplaces — and benefits from extensive gardens, a double garage and off-street parking. Several large reception rooms and cellar/storage space increase usable accommodation and practical flexibility.
The house requires comprehensive cosmetic updating and modernisation; fixtures and decor are dated and some areas will need attention. There is potential to create a separate building plot to the side with frontage to Watkin Avenue, subject to planning consent — an attractive prospect for developers or owners seeking to add value, but not guaranteed.
Practical notes for buyers: the advertised gross area is shown as 851 sq ft, which appears small compared with the listed room count and proportions — purchasers should verify measurements. Council Tax Band G means running costs are relatively high; the property is vacant and offered with no onward chain and awaits an EPC. The surrounding area is classified as ageing urban communities with higher deprivation, so buyers should consider local market context alongside the home’s attributes.
