Summary - 45 Broad Oaks Park CO4 0JY
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Comfortable period living with garden and parking near good schools.
Extended four-bedroom detached family house with character features
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac on the St Johns estate, this extended four-bedroom detached house combines period character with family-friendly layout. Leaded windows, exposed beams and a log-burner give the principal reception rooms cosy, characterful appeal, while a larger kitchen/breakfast room and separate utility suit everyday family life. The property includes an en-suite to the main bedroom, a family bathroom and an attached garage with driveway parking for two cars.
The gardens are paved with a lawned area and patio; they are private and offer scope for landscaping or creating more usable outdoor living space. Internally the home is well presented but built before 1900 with solid uninsulated brick walls — buyers should note potential energy inefficiency and consider insulation or fabric upgrades. Double glazing fitted since 2002, mains gas central heating and a Baxi boiler are in place.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow in the area and council tax is described as expensive. The property is freehold, in a very low-crime, affluent suburb with strong local schools and good road links (A12/A120), which will appeal to families seeking space, character and local convenience. A pre-purchase survey is advised to confirm services, insulation options and any refurbishment needs.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with immediate usability and sensible potential for energy improvements and garden enhancement, suited to buyers who value period detail and good local amenities.
