Positioned on a sought-after cul-de-sac in Great Glen, this extended four-bedroom detached house sits on a large, private plot with mature rear gardens and a long driveway with tandem garage. The ground floor offers versatile reception space including a sitting room with a recessed fireplace, an extended bar area opening to a bright sunroom, separate dining room, breakfast-style kitchen with integrated appliances, and a useful utility room. Four double bedrooms occupy the first floor, all with built-in wardrobes, served by a family bathroom plus a ground-floor shower room for convenience.
The property is offered freehold and provides strong potential for further extension or modernisation (subject to planning consent), making it suitable for growing families seeking space in a highly regarded village with excellent schooling options. The layout and generous garden create clear scope for contemporary living improvements, entertaining and flexible family use.
Practical considerations: the EPC is rated D, double glazing dates from before 2002 and some internal areas show dated 1970s finishes that will benefit from updating. Council tax sits in a higher band and the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s construction period, so buyers should expect typical maintenance and potential modernisation costs when budgeting.
Overall this is a substantial, well-located family home in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and no recent flooding issues reported. It will appeal to buyers prioritising space, garden privacy and proximity to local schools, with the opportunity to add value through sympathetic refurbishment or extension.
