Set in the sought-after village of Oakthorpe, this characterful three-bedroom semi-detached house offers generous internal space across three storeys and a conservatory overlooking an established garden. The layout suits family life: a lounge opens to a bright conservatory, the fitted kitchen/diner leads to the rear garden, and a useful utility and guest cloakroom sit conveniently on the ground floor. A converted loft provides two flexible areas for a third bedroom and a home office.
Practical positives include ample off-street parking, a good-sized rear lawn with mature borders and side access suitable for a caravan, and low local crime in an affluent village setting. Broadband and mobile signals are both strong, and local primary and secondary schools are rated well, making this attractive to families.
Notable considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not on a community supply), and the house is of solid-brick construction likely without cavity insulation. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. The converted loft areas may have restricted head height and only limited eaves storage. These factors present opportunities to improve energy efficiency and modernise, which will deliver both comfort and running-cost benefits.
Overall, this large, character home gives buyers immediate liveability with clear scope to add value through measured refurbishment and energy upgrades. It will suit buyers seeking village life with space for family, home-working and outdoor storage.
