Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular village of Spencers Wood, this detached four-bedroom house offers a practical family layout and a decent private plot. The property requires modernisation throughout, presenting a blank canvas for a buyer seeking to add value and personalise a family home. With double glazing fitted after 2002 and mains gas heating, the basics are in place for sensible upgrades.
Downstairs the accommodation comprises a lounge/diner, kitchen and a WC; upstairs are four bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The single bathroom and one WC mean mornings will need planning in larger households, and the property’s mid-20th-century fittings will benefit from sympathetic modernisation to meet contemporary family needs.
Outside there is an enclosed, private garden that is currently overgrown and will need landscaping; a single garage and off-road parking add practical storage and vehicle space. The location is family-friendly — close to local shops and a mix of state and independent schools — and offers easy access to the M4 and M3 for commuting.
Important practical points: the house is offered freehold with no onward chain, sits in a very low-crime, affluent area and has no flood risk. Council tax is above average for the area, and the property will suit buyers willing to invest time and money in renovation to unlock its potential.
