Set within the sought-after Highfield Park development, this well-presented semi-detached home benefits from a double-storey rear extension and contemporary open-plan living. The ground floor features a generous kitchen/dining/living space with central island and bi-fold doors opening to a small, low-maintenance rear garden — an easy-care outdoor area for children and evening entertaining. Underfloor heating in the hallway and kitchen plus wall-mounted air conditioning upstairs and downstairs add year-round comfort.
Upstairs currently offers two double bedrooms, the principal with an en suite shower and a re-fitted family bathroom. Importantly, planning permission has been granted to create a third bedroom (Ref: 5/2024/0641), giving clear scope to increase sleeping capacity without significant demolition.
Practical benefits include an off-street driveway, freehold tenure, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and fast broadband/mobile connectivity — useful for families and home-working professionals. The plot is small and the garden compact, so buyers seeking larger outdoor space should note the limited exterior footprint.
This home suits first-time buyers and young families wanting a modern, move-in-ready property in a very affluent area with good local schools and low crime. The layout and planning permission also appeal to buyers wanting modest refurbishment or rental potential, while council tax is moderate.
