This extended four-bedroom semi-detached house on Wards Road offers practical family living close to Newbury Park Central Line and strong local schools. The ground floor provides a long through lounge, a bright open-plan kitchen/diner with double doors to the garden, and a useful ground-floor wet room — a convenient layout for busy households and commuters.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms plus a large loft room currently used as bedroom four, with provisions for an en-suite. The property benefits from a decent private rear garden, a brick outbuilding and off-street parking for multiple vehicles, giving good outdoor amenity and storage for a suburban home.
Constructed mid-20th century with solid brick walls and double glazing, the house has mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Some elements — wall insulation is assumed absent and certain fittings or services have not been independently tested — mean buyers should allow for updating and checks when budgeting. Council Tax is Band D.
Practical strengths are the location, strong school options nearby, good internal circulation and parking. Notable drawbacks are the high local crime level and the property’s age-related fabric (solid walls with assumed no insulation), which may require improvement works to meet modern standards and running-cost expectations.
