Set on a quiet street in Shillington, this four-bedroom detached home combines Tudor-revival character with practical family living. The ground floor offers a generous 19ft kitchen/diner with island and integrated appliances, plus a 17ft lounge that opens via double doors — useful for everyday family flow and entertaining. The layout includes a cloakroom, useful understairs storage and an en-suite to the principal bedroom.
Outside, the property sits on a decent plot with off-road parking for three cars and a single garage with power and eave storage. The fully enclosed rear garden is intentionally low-maintenance, with a paved patio, composite decking and artificial lawn — good for busy households or those preferring minimal upkeep. The home is freehold and presents in good order throughout.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the early 1990s, has double glazing (install date not known), mains gas central heating and is in Council Tax Band F, which buyers should factor into ongoing costs. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow despite excellent mobile signal. One of the four bedrooms is compact and better suited as a study, nursery or occasional guest room.
This property will suit families seeking a village lifestyle with nearby good and outstanding primary schools, easy parking and low garden maintenance. It also offers straightforward potential for cosmetic updates if you want to personalise fixtures, finishes or improve connectivity.
