Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this well-presented detached house offers flexible family living across two floors and a large, private rear garden. The living room opens via French doors to the landscaped garden, while a separate dining/family room and a breakfast kitchen give practical space for daily life and entertaining. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower; three further double bedrooms accommodate growing families or home offices.
Practical features include a part-converted garage that now provides useful storage and a modern downstairs shower room, plus a driveway for additional parking. The property is freehold, in Council Tax Band D, and sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and good mobile signal — well suited to older workers and families seeking a peaceful setting.
Buyers should note the garage has been partially converted which reduces secure vehicle/storage space, and the energy performance rating is currently awaiting assessment. Local schooling options include at least one Good-rated primary and nearby secondary provision, though one local academy is listed as requiring improvement.
Overall this is a practical, comfortable family home with a generous private garden, sensible reception layout and scope for light updating where desired. At the asking price it will appeal to families who prioritise outdoor space, low-crime surroundings and convenient commuter connections.
