This attractive four-bedroom Victorian semi blends period character with contemporary styling, offering a practical family layout across three storeys. High ceilings, sash windows and a period fireplace sit alongside a bright open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with skylight and bifold doors to the rear garden.
The house sits on a quiet no-through road adjacent to the Grand Union Canal, providing a pleasant waterside walk into town and toward the station. There is off-street parking for one car and a private enclosed rear garden with paved seating, lawn and mature planting — a manageable outdoor space for family life.
Practical points to note: the home has one main bathroom and a separate downstairs WC, which may require scheduling for larger households. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The property’s solid brick walls are original (likely without modern cavity insulation), so buyers should consider potential energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is band D and the property is sold freehold.
For families the location is strong — local state and independent schools, shops and leisure facilities are close by, with excellent road links to the A41 and frequent trains into London. The house offers immediate liveability with scope to improve energy performance or reconfigure spaces to suit changing needs.
