Set over two floors, this substantial 4-bedroom detached house offers 2 reception rooms, an eat-in kitchen with integrated appliances, and a large rear garden ideal for entertaining and family life. The property retains period character—decorative ceilings, a bay window and exposed timber detailing—giving a comfortable, traditional feel across generous 2,044 sq ft of living space.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, double glazing installed after 2002, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The home sits in a quiet residential street with nearby open spaces and strong school options (including Whitgift and several well-rated primaries), and there is no local flood risk.
Notable items to consider: the house was built in the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so upgrading wall insulation and thermal performance may be advisable. The wider area shows higher levels of deprivation, and while crime is average, buyers should weigh local social factors. There is inconsistent information about ensuites in source notes (two ensuites mentioned in one place, three in another) — buyers should confirm the exact bathroom configuration.
Overall this is a large, period family property on a substantial plot with good transport and schooling links, suited to buyers seeking generous living space and who are open to sensible thermal and cosmetic improvements to bring the house fully up to modern standards.
