This detached four-bedroom house on Aldwickbury Crescent sits on a generous plot with a 115ft south-facing garden and private driveway — ideal for family life and outdoor living. The property includes a self-contained annex/studio, offering flexible use as a home office, rental income, or multi-generational space. Principal rooms are well-proportioned with good natural light and a conservatory that overlooks the garden.
The location is a major draw: short walking distance to the town centre and station, and within catchment of several highly rated primary and secondary schools, including multiple Ofsted Outstanding schools. The house totals about 1,600 sq ft and the plot size creates clear scope to enlarge the footprint, subject to planning permission (STPP).
The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and will benefit from updating in places; buyers should expect cosmetic and potential systems modernisation rather than a completely turnkey finish. Council Tax Band F means ongoing costs will be higher than average for the area. Any extension plans will require planning consent and professional advice.
For families seeking space, a strong school catchment and future value uplift through extension or refurbishment, this property presents tangible potential. Viewings will suit buyers willing to invest modestly to tailor the home and capitalise on the long south garden and annex.
