Character home with large garden and garage for growing families.
Extremely large detached house with c.2,080 sq ft living space
An imposing, characterful detached house on a generous plot, this three-bedroom home offers spacious, flexible living across multiple reception rooms. High ceilings, bay windows, original fireplaces and Tudor/Edwardian detailing give the property strong period appeal and comfortable family proportions. The layout includes a pantry, utility room and an Aga, useful for country-style cooking and storage.
Outside benefits include a detached garage, wide driveway parking and a private rear garden with lawn, patio, summer house, fruit trees, mature planting and a pond — good for family life and outdoor entertaining. The overall floor area is large (approximately 2,080 sq ft), giving scope to reconfigure or create additional living zones if desired.
There are some practical issues to note: the house dates from c.1900–1929 and has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, so energy efficiency and heating costs may be a concern. Council tax is above average for the area. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with higher local crime levels, which will be relevant for school choices, insurance and resale considerations.
Nearby schooling includes a mix of Good-rated and one Inadequate primary; secondary options are rated Good. Local amenities are comprehensive (shops, doctors, sports facilities and public transport). Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. This property suits a family seeking period character, generous space and garden privacy, and a buyer willing to invest in modernising energy performance and internal updates where needed.
