Large period home with gardens, excellent schools and scope to update.
Chain free four-bedroom detached family home
A rarely available, chain-free four-bedroom detached family home in the sought-after SG4 9HY area, lived in and cared for by the same owners for over 30 years. The house sits in mature private gardens, offers extremely generous living space (approximately 2,945 sq ft) and benefits from an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room that floods with light via a conservatory-style roof.
Accommodation is flexible: a dual-aspect sitting room, formal dining room, study, large kitchen/breakfast island, utility and an integral tandem double garage with direct access. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite and a bedroom currently used as a dressing room; a family bathroom serves the other bedrooms. The property is within easy walking distance of the mainline station, town centre and highly regarded local schools, making it particularly suitable for families.
There is clear potential to update and enhance the property to modern tastes — for example converting the tandem double garage (subject to planning) or improving thermal performance. Important practical points: the house is of solid brick construction predating 1900 and likely lacks cavity wall insulation, the glazing install date is unknown, and council tax is described as expensive. Buyers should budget for updating and potential insulation or heating upgrades to improve running costs.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home in a very convenient, affluent location with excellent schools and transport links. It will suit buyers seeking generous gardens, scope to modernise and the convenience of a chain-free move.
