Set on a large, well-landscaped plot, this substantial detached home suits growing families seeking generous indoor and outdoor space. The main house offers flexible living with three reception rooms, a bright kitchen/breakfast room and a sun room that opens onto a terraced rear garden. Four first-floor bedrooms include a principal with fitted wardrobes and ensuite; one bedroom enjoys a private terrace overlooking the garden.
Linked yet self-contained, the two-bedroom annexe offers open-plan living, a modern shower room and its own courtyard garden — ideal for multigenerational living, guests or rental income. A long gated driveway provides ample off-street parking and privacy.
The location is a major strength: tucked-away setting, short walk to town centre amenities, and near several well-regarded schools. Commuters benefit from quick road links to the M1/M25 and frequent mainline services to London.
Important practical points: the house dates from the mid-20th century so buyers should expect the typical maintenance and potential modernisation associated with that era. Council Tax is Band G (quite expensive) and local crime statistics are very high. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown).
