Practical additions include a part-converted garage currently used as an external office/gym (power and lighting fitted) and a driveway for two vehicles. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite, there is a downstairs cloakroom, and the property remains under the original builder warranty.

There is scope to extend further subject to planning permission (STPP), making this a good long-term family purchase. Be aware of material facts: the property falls in Council Tax Band E (above average) and local recorded crime is above average. The garage conversion is partial and may need regularisation if you plan to change its use.
