Spacious 1930s detached home on a large private plot with contemporary extension.
Exceptional large private plot with mature trees and pond
Set back behind electric gates on Chester Road, this substantial 1930s detached house sits on an exceptionally large, private plot with mature trees, a water feature and an Indian sandstone patio — ideal for family outdoor life and entertaining. The home combines character features such as ceiling roses, exposed beams, panelled walls and an inglenook fireplace with contemporary upgrades including underfloor heating in the kitchen and main ensuite, Bosch kitchen appliances and solid oak internal doors.
The extended, open-plan kitchen/living hub is a standout: skylights, a breakfast bar, bifold doors and generous storage make it a light, sociable centre for daily family living. Separate formal dining and dual-aspect living rooms plus a conservatory (new roof, built to regs) add flexible reception space for home working, guests or play. Practical touches include a utility room, integral single garage with electric door, gated driveway parking for 4–5 cars and outdoor power/water points.
Upstairs there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a main suite with walk-through wardrobe and underfloor-heated ensuite, and a guest bedroom with its own modern ensuite. The loft is insulated and partially boarded, offering clear scope for conversion (subject to planning) and neighbours have extended, indicating realistic potential to enlarge the footprint further.
Considerations: the house sits in an affluent suburb with fast broadband and very low crime, but council tax is described as expensive. Any loft or rear extensions would require the usual planning approvals. Overall this property suits a growing family seeking period charm with high-spec modern living, generous outdoor space and future extension potential.
