Set on a prominent corner plot in West Common, this substantial detached house offers flexible living across approximately 3,477 sq ft. The ground floor flow with five reception rooms and a large open-plan kitchen/diner suits family life and entertaining, while extensive private gardens give children space to play and adults room to garden or relax.
Upstairs there are seven bedrooms, five with en suite facilities, and a dual-aspect master with dressing room, en suite and balcony. Two staircases and the property’s layout provide genuine potential to create independent living wings for multi-generational households or temporary rental income.
Practical benefits include two integral double garages, driveway parking, double glazing and mains gas central heating. The house sits in an affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and well-regarded local schools, making it especially appealing to growing families wanting space and good connections to transport links.
Buyers should note the house was constructed in the 1950s–60s and, while much is presented well, the scale and age of the building mean some updating and redecoration may be required to reach contemporary finishes throughout. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is quite expensive — important factors for budgeting. There is clear scope for internal reconfiguration or partial garage conversion, offering long-term value to purchasers prepared to invest.
