A rare, substantial detached house offering more than just family accommodation: generous living space across multiple floors plus a large commercial compound and outbuildings. The home extends to around 5,379 sq ft and sits on a large plot with private garden, multiple garages, workshop space and a vehicle repair unit with office — ideal for an owner-occupier who needs business space or an investor seeking mixed-use potential.
Internally the house blends period character with later updates: open-plan living/dining/kitchen, conservatory opening to the garden, a second-floor entertainment space with log burner and separate fitted kitchen, plus three bathrooms. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place, but the solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, and the Energy Performance Certificate is D.
The compound and outbuildings provide flexible opportunities: keep as a running commercial yard, convert for additional living units, or redevelop subject to planning and building regulations. Any change of use or subdivision will require formal planning consent. The property is freehold and offered with Council Tax band D.
Location benefits include good local schools rated 'Good', excellent mobile and broadband speeds, very low local crime and convenient public transport links. Buyers should note the wider area has pockets of deprivation which may influence long-term values and lettings in parts of the locality.
