This well-presented four-bedroom detached house on Van Mildert Close offers practical family living on a modern Bracks Farm development. The ground floor features a bright living room, a large open-plan kitchen/dining area with integrated appliances and French doors into a conservatory that overlooks the generous rear garden — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite; three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
Externally the property has a gravelled front garden, a paved driveway providing off-street parking for two cars and a partially converted garage used for additional storage. The large, enclosed lawned rear garden with patio and established borders is a significant family asset. Local amenities are close by, including several 'Good' rated primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, and the Tindale retail park. Good road links (A688/A689 to the A1(M)) and regular public transport support commuting.
Be candid about the drawbacks: the area records very high crime and local deprivation indicators, which may concern some buyers and could impact insurance or resale in the short term. The EPC rating is listed as TBC and should be confirmed; while the property has gas central heating and double glazing, potential buyers may want to check energy performance and any future insulation or efficiency work. The garage has been partially converted, reducing internal vehicle storage.
Overall this detached family home suits buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in suburban property with flexible living space and a large garden, particularly families drawn to nearby schools and commuter links. Investors should note the local socio-economic context and confirm EPC and security considerations before proceeding.
