Set on a generous plot in a sought-after SS1 suburb, this four-bedroom detached house is laid out for comfortable family living. The front-to-back lounge is bright with natural light, while an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining room opens directly onto a large rear garden—ideal for children and weekend entertaining. A separate utility and ground-floor WC add practical convenience for daily routines.
The principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite shower, and the stylish family bathroom serves three further bedrooms. The property is double-glazed (installed post-2002) and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators, giving ready-to-use comfort for a growing family. Local amenities, good primary schools and an outstanding selective girls’ school are close by, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supporting home working and study.
Built in the mid-20th century with Tudor Revival styling, the house has attractive character and solid bones but also some typical period drawbacks. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so thermal upgrades such as internal/ external wall insulation or a targeted retrofit would improve comfort and running costs. Council Tax Band F is noted as expensive and should be factored into running costs.
This home will suit families seeking space, garden and proximity to strong local amenities and schools. It’s move-in ready in many respects, yet offers sensible scope for energy-efficiency improvements and sympathetic updating to personalise the period features and reduce ongoing costs.
