Detached four-bedroom family house on 0.4-acre plot
Set on a far larger-than-normal 0.4-acre plot on Rodborough Common, this four-bedroom detached home offers comfortable family living with broad valley views and direct gated access to the Common. Principal reception rooms face the garden and open to a raised patio, creating a light-filled, sociable ground floor layout. The rear garden’s levels, pond, wildflower area and mature boundaries provide a private, semi-rural setting for children and pets to explore.
Practical features include a generous driveway with several-car parking and a detached double garage. The house is double-glazed (pre-2002), gas centrally heated with radiators, and externally appears well maintained. The property footprint and plot size create clear scope to extend or reconfigure; planning was granted in 2020 to link and convert the garage to a kitchen/dining space (ref S.20/0428/HHOLD) but that permission has now lapsed.
Notable drawbacks are candidly set out: broadband speeds are slow and there is only one family shower room for four double bedrooms. Council tax is above average. Any buyer wishing to pursue the previously approved extension will need to reapply to the council. For families seeking generous outside space in a quiet, highly desirable area with excellent local schools and very low crime, this home offers strong long-term potential, especially for those willing to invest in updating and extending the accommodation.
