Summary - THE COTTAGE, CANDLEHOUSE LANE, ALFORD LN13 9EX
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot and wrap-around gardens — ideal for growing families near top local school.
Detached five-bedroom family home with one en-suite
This spacious five-bedroom detached house sits in the heart of Alford, a short walk from shops and within the catchment for Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School. The property offers generous family accommodation across three storeys, including a reception room, open-plan kitchen/living area with vaulted ceiling, a separate dining room and useful office. One bedroom has an en-suite and there is a large family bathroom plus a ground-floor WC and utility.
The plot is a strong asset: mature, well-kept wrap-around gardens, paved patios, an attractive pond and a timber summer house provide good outdoor amenity and privacy. Off-street parking is provided by a driveway. The house benefits from mains gas central heating (Viessmann boiler) and uPVC double glazing but is of solid brick construction (circa 1900–1929) and appears to lack wall insulation, so energy upgrades would add value and comfort.
This home will suit a growing family seeking space, character and a convenient small-town location with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Buyers should note higher-than-average council tax, an above-average local crime rate and that the area shows signs of local deprivation—factors to balance against the property’s generous living space and plot. Early viewing is advised to appreciate the layout and garden.
Practical points: the property is freehold and flood risk is low. Services, fixtures and heating have not been professionally tested in these particulars; buyers are recommended to obtain verification by survey.
