A wide, red-brick semi set on one of Lyford Road’s most desirable stretches, this substantial five-bedroom home blends period character with a large contemporary kitchen extension. Vaulted ceilings, skylights and bi-fold doors create a bright kitchen/family room that opens onto a west-facing landscaped garden (approx. 70'10" x 20'4"). The lower-ground cinema/media room, generous utility and cellar-style storage add versatile family and entertaining space.
The house sits back from the road behind a generous drive with private off-street parking for several vehicles and mature planting for privacy. Traditional features remain in the front reception rooms—bay window, fireplaces and wood floors—while the extended parts deliver modern open-plan living and integrated appliances. The plot width, green front and rear outlooks and scope to create an additional bedroom with en suite (subject to planning) are strong long-term positives.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold and built circa 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation), double glazing of unknown install date and a mains gas boiler with radiators. Council tax is described as quite expensive. There is no flooding risk and local broadband and mobile signals are strong; the area is affluent and well served by schools, parks and transport.
This house will suit a growing family seeking space, good local schools and outdoor amenity, or buyers wanting an attractive period home with modern rear living and scope to adapt. Serious purchasers should allow for potential energy-efficiency upgrades (wall insulation, glazing checks) and confirm any planned extensions with the local authority before purchase.
