Set on a generous corner plot, this double-storey five-bedroom detached house offers comfortable family living with clear potential to grow. The property includes a large private rear garden, a garage and off-street parking for multiple vehicles — ideal for busy households and weekend entertaining. Ground floor layout includes a kitchen with adjoining utility, separate sitting and dining rooms, and a downstairs cloakroom; upstairs offers five bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional cloakroom.
Built in the 1930s–1940s, the house has period character including bay windows and a traditional pitched roof but will likely benefit from modernization in parts. Double glazing is present though installation date is unknown; heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. There is scope to extend further subject to planning permission (STPP), making this a good choice for buyers who want longer-term value uplift.
Location strengths include close proximity to several primary and secondary schools (including an Outstanding-rated option nearby), local shops, frequent bus routes and straightforward access to the A12/A14. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the area scores as very affluent with very low crime. Note practical points: council tax is above average and any extension or major works will require planning approval and likely updating of some services and finishes.
