Set on a large corner plot just moments from Wicksteed Park, this 1930s detached home offers substantial family accommodation and generous outdoor space. The ground floor features an open-plan living/dining room with bay window and conservatory, a long kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a practical downstairs shower room — useful for busy family life. Upstairs are four bedrooms (three doubles) and a family bathroom with an assisted walk-in shower.
Practical strengths include a double garage with electric doors, off-street parking on Paradise Lane for four cars, gas central heating and double glazing. The plot’s southeast-facing rear garden and stone-style patio provide private outdoor living and scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning). Good local schools and a mainline station with under-an-hour links to London add commuter appeal.
Buyers should note material negatives: the EPC is rated E and external cavity walls appear to have no added insulation (assumed), so energy performance is middling and upgrade work may be needed. Council tax is above average and local area data indicates higher crime rates and pockets of deprivation — factors to weigh for family safety and long-term value. The property is chain-free, offering a quicker sale for buyers prepared to invest in modest updating.
Overall, this is a substantial, characterful family home with clear potential to modernise and increase energy efficiency. It will suit buyers seeking space, good local amenities and schools, and those comfortable budgeting for targeted improvements to bring performance and décor up to contemporary standards.
