Light-filled entertaining spaces and landscaped low-maintenance garden for family living.
Newly renovated four-bedroom detached home, high-spec finishes
This newly renovated four-bedroom detached house on Britannia Road combines period bones with contemporary living spaces, making it well suited to growing families. The house offers a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with bi-fold doors and an 8m roof lantern for generous natural light and seamless indoor–outdoor flow. A landscaped, low-maintenance rear garden with built-in outdoor kitchen and seating areas extends the entertaining space. Practical additions include a gated driveway with EV charging point, underfloor heating downstairs and integrated smart-home controls.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Ground-floor rooms include a spacious lounge with bay window, a dedicated home office overlooking the garden, and two versatile rooms (one plumbed for a potential extra bathroom). Upstairs, the principal bedroom has bespoke wardrobes and an en-suite with walk-in rainfall shower; two double bedrooms feature mezzanine balconies, plus a fourth bedroom fitted as a bunk-room. High-quality fixtures and finishes are present throughout following the recent renovation.
Buyers should note several material local and property considerations. The area has above-average crime and is described as very deprived at the neighbourhood level, despite comfortable local neighbourhood pockets and good nearby schools. Council tax is above average. The house was constructed 1930–1949 and has cavity walls with no confirmed insulation (assumed), which may affect running costs despite modern heating and an air-conditioning system. Double glazing is fitted but install dates are unknown.
Overall, the property offers a desirable family layout and high-spec entertaining spaces with clear move-in readiness. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising indoor–outdoor living, generous room sizes and nearby transport and school links, while those sensitive to local area statistics or potential insulation works should factor those into their plans.
