Immaculate recent renovation retaining 1930s character
This immaculately renovated 1930s detached house on Dowson Road blends period character with high-spec modern finishes, creating a comfortable family home ready to move into. The ground floor’s open-plan family living area and contemporary German Nolte kitchen with Silestone worktops, Quooker tap and integrated sound system make daily life and entertaining easy. Practical touches include a utility room, guest WC and underfloor heating to the kitchen/living areas.
Four double bedrooms and three bathrooms provide flexible space for family life, guests or a home office; the principal suite features a walk-in wardrobe and a luxury en-suite. Original features such as a bay window, reclaimed fireplace and high ceilings have been retained alongside upgrades like Karndean flooring and a log burner for cosy evenings.
Outside is a large, landscaped sunny garden with porcelain patios and raised beds, plus a detached garage and driveway for three cars. The location sits within easy reach of local shops, pubs, good primary schools and motorway/train links for commuting. There is no flooding risk noted.
Important practical points: the house was renovated to a high standard but has secondary glazing and the cavity walls are recorded as “as built, no insulation (assumed)”, which may mean additional insulation works could be required. Council tax is above average and the wider area is classified as relatively deprived, which may affect resale in certain markets. Overall, this is a well-presented family home offering significant day-to-day comfort with scope to improve energy performance over time.
