This generous five-bedroom semi-detached home in Patcham is arranged over multiple floors and designed for family life. The ground floor centres on a large open-plan kitchen/diner with an island and tri-folding doors that open to an elevated terrace, providing a pleasant outlook over the south-easterly landscaped garden and valley beyond. A spacious reception room with a bowed window and gas fireplace adds a comfortable living area, while a handy downstairs WC and cellar increase everyday practicality.
Upstairs has four well-proportioned bedrooms plus a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite, giving flexible sleeping and home-office options for a growing family. The property includes useful outbuildings, a sunroom and additional stores, and a private driveway for off-street parking. The location is a strong selling point: Patcham Village amenities, reliable bus links and fast road access to the A23, plus several Good–Outstanding local schools.
Important practical points: the house dates from the 1930s–1940s and has cavity walls with no known insulation (assumed), so consider potential upgrade costs for wall insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. There are two main bathrooms for five bedrooms, and council tax is above average. Flood risk is low and mains gas boiler heating is fitted. Overall this is a comfortable, well-located family home with scope to improve energy performance and tailor spaces to long-term needs.
