Set on a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac just 0.5 miles from Elmstead Woods station, this chain-free five-bedroom detached home suits families and commuters seeking space and flexibility. The property offers nearly 1,953 sq ft across three floors, with a luxury top-floor master suite providing a generous en-suite and walk-in dressing area — a private retreat for the owners. Off-street parking and a decent rear garden with an 18’ x 16’ powered outbuilding add practical family amenities such as a home office, gym, or studio.
The ground and first floors provide bright, versatile living space and an updated kitchen/dining area. There is realistic potential to extend the ground floor (subject to planning permission) to create larger open-plan living or additional accommodation, making this house appealing for buyers wanting to add value. The property was constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note some material points: council tax is described as quite expensive, the exact age of the glazing is unknown, and any extension requires formal planning approval. The house is presented well but, given its age, routine updating or selective refurbishment may be needed to suit more contemporary tastes. Overall this is a substantial, well-located family home in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to good local schools and green spaces.
