Set on a wide plot opposite Hartopp Road and a short stroll from Sutton Park, this substantial four-bedroom detached home suits established families seeking space and character. The principal reception rooms are generous: an imposing lounge with a deep Inglenook fireplace and French doors to the garden, and a separate dining room with a bay window that frames the rear aspect. A fitted breakfast kitchen, pantry and adjoining laundry area make daily routines straightforward.
Upstairs offers four good bedrooms, the master with an extensive recess and built-in storage, plus a family bathroom and separate WC. Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating and a large double garage with electric door; a twin-car block-paved driveway provides additional off-street parking. The rear garden faces south and is mature and private — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
The location is a major selling point: quick access to Four Oaks station (Cross City line), excellent local schools, and Mere Green’s shops and cafés. The house was built mid-20th century and presents outstanding scope for updating or reconfiguration (subject to any approvals) — a chance to add contemporary finishes while retaining period character.
Important considerations: the property sits in council tax band G, so running costs will be higher than average. The description highlights scope and potential rather than turnkey modernisation; buyers should expect some updating works to realise its full value. EPC rating is currently TBC and the neighbourhood reports above-average crime levels; prospective purchasers should carry out usual checks and surveys before committing.
