The ground floor offers a dual-aspect lounge/diner with patio doors to an enclosed rear garden, a modern-style kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility and a downstairs WC for everyday convenience. Upstairs are five bedrooms and a single family bathroom with a wall-mounted power shower; bedroom five currently doubles as a study with a built-in wardrobe.

Buyers should note the house’s overall internal size is modest for a five-bedroom property at around 1,010 sq ft, and there is only one family bathroom, which may constrain larger households. The build-era (late 1970s/early 1980s) means some elements could benefit from modernisation depending on buyer taste. Council tax is above average for the area.
Well suited to families who prioritise schooling, outdoor space and parking, this property offers immediate habitability with scope to reconfigure or update to suit long-term needs. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and layout for your family’s requirements.
