Set on the edge of scenic Shortwood Common, this well-presented four-bedroom semi offers a practical family layout across two floors. The ground floor features a modern kitchen with central island, a large lounge/dining room with bi-fold doors to the garden, and a versatile study/bedroom — ideal for home working or a playroom. Double driveway parking and a raised rear patio leading to a lawn provide outdoor space for children and entertaining.
The property is attractive to commuters: Staines town centre and mainline station are close by, with frequent services to London and quick access to the M25, M3 and Heathrow. Local schools rated Good are within easy reach, which adds to the house’s appeal for families. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,198 sq ft and is presented in good decorative order throughout.
Practical considerations are transparent: there is a single family bathroom, which could be limiting for larger households, and the property was built in the mid-20th century with solid brick walls that appear to lack cavity insulation (assumed). Tenure and council tax band are not specified. These points are important for buyers planning long-term comfort or energy upgrades.
For investors, the estimated rental income of £2,400 pcm (around 4.8% yield at the listed price) signals steady returns in a commuter town. For growing families, the combination of flexible living space, outdoor garden, parking and proximity to transport and schools represents a convenient, ready-to-move-in option with sensible scope for modernisation where desired.
