Set on a larger-than-average plot in a quiet cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom family home offers immediate space and long-term potential. The house features a generous 24'9" lounge/diner, a fitted kitchen with pantry, and a substantial tandem garage over 35ft — useful for workshop space or secure parking. Landscaped front and rear gardens and ample driveway parking add practical outdoor living and storage.
The layout suits growing families: five double bedrooms and a bright principal reception room create flexible sleeping and living arrangements. The property is offered chain-free, so an early move or quick refurbishment programme is straightforward. Local schools rated Outstanding and Good make the location particularly attractive for buyers with children.
Internally the home shows mid-20th-century styling and will benefit from updating in parts. There is a single family bathroom serving five bedrooms and some dated fixtures and finishes — modernisation would add value. Construction details indicate cavity walls with no installed insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor potential energy-improvement work into plans and budgets.
Overall, this is a substantial suburban family house with important selling points — plot size, garage length, and location — balanced by obvious refurbishment tasks and limited bathroom provision. It will suit buyers seeking space now who are prepared to invest to modernise and improve energy performance.
