Set on a generous tenth-of-an-acre plot, this traditional three-bedroom detached home offers true family-sized outdoor space with a southerly-facing rear garden and off-road parking with a detached garage. The property has been maintained with a new roof five years ago and a new boiler last year, leaving the structural basics in good order. There is scope to extend to the side or rear subject to planning, offering potential to increase living space.
Inside, the layout is conventional and comfortable: a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room with a multi-fuel stove, fitted kitchen with pantry, and a single family bathroom. Some rooms—particularly the living room—show dated 1970s fixtures and signs of potential damp and would benefit from modernization to bring finishes up to current standards.
The location is practical for commuters and families, with good access to major road links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal. It sits within easy reach of the city centre, the university and local hospitals, and schools rated Good nearby, though one local primary has an Inadequate Ofsted rating to note. Crime levels are above average in the area and should be considered.
Overall this is a well-positioned, freehold detached home for buyers wanting generous outdoor space and extension potential. It will suit families seeking a substantial garden and parking, or buyers willing to renovate to modernise interiors and address minor maintenance issues.
