Five double bedrooms across generous 2,797 sq ft
Set on a generous, secluded plot backing onto woodland and a pond, this five-bedroom detached home offers nearly 2,800 sq ft of versatile living space ideal for a growing family. The layout includes a large front lounge with fireplace, conservatory, separate dining room, substantial kitchen with island, utility and downstairs WC. A useful adjoining annex with its own bedroom and ensuite gives scope for multi-generational living or flexible home-office use.
Outside, a gravel driveway leads to a double detached garage and extensive lawned gardens with mature trees and a private patio — excellent for children and entertaining. The property is chain-free, on freehold tenure, and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. Local schools are rated Good and the location provides quick access to the M6, M61 and M65 motorways and nearby train stations.
The house was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents a blank-canvas opportunity: internal modernisation and cosmetic updating are needed to bring rooms fully up to contemporary standards. EPC rating C — reasonably efficient but not top-tier. Prospective buyers should note higher-than-average local crime statistics and that council tax is expensive.
Overall this is a substantial family home in an affluent, comfortable suburb with strong transport links and large private grounds. It will suit buyers wanting space, privacy and scope to personalise rather than those seeking a fully refurbished, move-in-ready property.
