Set back from the road on sought-after Blackshots Lane, this substantial five-bedroom detached home blends 1930s character with contemporary living. Heavily extended to the rear and into the loft, the property provides generous family space over approximately 1,939 sq ft, ready for everyday life and larger gatherings.
The heart of the house is a large, light-filled open plan kitchen/dining/family room with skylight and bifolding doors opening to an expansive rear garden that backs onto playing fields. A bay-fronted living room with fireplace offers a cosy front reception, while a separate utility and ground-floor WC add practicality for busy households. The top floor is a private master suite with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room.
Outside, you’ll find a wide driveway, side garage and a large garden that offers privacy and excellent scope for family use. There is potential to extend further to the side subject to planning permission, which may appeal to buyers seeking additional value or bespoke reconfiguration.
Practical points: the house is freehold, benefits from double glazing and modern heating (boiler with underfloor heating), and sits in a low-crime, well-connected suburban area with good schools nearby. Note the property sits in an above-average council tax band, and any side development would require planning consent. Buyers should verify all details through their legal advisers.
