This extended four-bedroom detached home on Thornes Lane offers roomy, practical family living across around 1,574 sq ft. The ground floor includes a long, light-filled sitting/dining extension (over 30 feet) that opens onto a raised patio and enclosed rear garden — ideal for family entertaining and safe outdoor space. A separate lounge, fitted kitchen and utility add everyday convenience, while off-street parking accommodates multiple cars.
Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a main bedroom with en-suite, plus a family bathroom. The house is combustion-heated by a gas boiler with radiators and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown). Constructed in the early 20th century, the property retains period brick character externally and presents a contemporary styled living room internally.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is freehold and chain-free, ready for immediate occupation, but it sits in an area with higher-than-average crime — buyers should factor neighbourhood safety into their decision. The solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated as-built; upgrading wall insulation could improve comfort and efficiency. Double glazing and heating are in place, but some buyers may want to confirm the age and condition of these installations.
Well-located for families, the home is near a range of primary and secondary schools rated Good to Outstanding and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. This is a substantial family house that combines generous indoor/outdoor space with clear scope for targeted improvements to boost energy efficiency and long-term value.
