This large four-bedroom detached house sits on a mature south-west facing plot at the end of a private close, offering comfortable family living and excellent scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning). The ground floor delivers practical family space: a welcoming hallway, cloakroom, L-shaped sitting/dining room with feature fireplace and conservatory, separate fitted kitchen with utility, and a substantial study/family room. Upstairs the principal bedroom includes a walk-in dressing room and ensuite, with two further doubles and a generous single served by the family bathroom.
Outside, the garden is a standout feature—various decking areas, mature planting, a large level lawn, detached summerhouse and greenhouse create a private, sunny rear setting. Ample off-street parking is provided by a wide driveway leading to a car port and garden store; an integral/double garage is also noted in the description. Practical modern comforts include double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and fast broadband; the area benefits from very low crime and an affluent catchment.
Buyers should note material practical considerations: the house dates from the 1950s–1960s and cavity walls may lack insulation (assumed), the EPC is rated D, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property offers scope for substantial improvement and possible enlargement, so purchasers should budget for updating, any insulation or energy-efficiency works, and the usual planning process for extensions.
This home will suit growing families seeking space, privacy and a large garden in a quiet, well-regarded neighbourhood, or buyers wanting a characterful period house with clear potential to personalise and add value.
