Set on a quiet cul-de-sac, this spacious four-bedroom detached house offers generous family living with a large garden and double garage. The modern open-plan kitchen and conservatory create bright, sociable spaces for day-to-day life and entertaining. The master bedroom is especially roomy and three upstairs bedrooms receive plenty of natural light.
Sold via Secure Sale online bidding and offered chain free, the property will be auctioned — viewings are essential to appreciate scale and layout. Practical extras include a driveway for multiple cars, a sauna, and useful storage from built-in wardrobes and the double garage. The house was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s and benefits from double glazing installed before 2002 and partial cavity wall insulation.
Buyers should note material considerations: the area records higher crime levels and is described as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental appeal. Some building elements are dated and could benefit from updating or further insulation to improve efficiency. Council Tax Band E and auction sale terms apply — bidders should check the full sale conditions before committing.
