A spacious five-bedroom detached home on a large plot in Orton Longueville that suits growing families who need flexible living and good outdoor space. The ground floor layout includes a generous living room, separate dining room and a garden room that overlooks an extensive landscaped rear garden — ideal for children and entertaining. A kitchen/breakfast room, utility, study and wet room add practical everyday convenience for modern family life.
Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms plus a versatile fifth room/study, and a refitted shower room. Bedrooms 1 and 2 have built-in wardrobes. The property benefits from off-street parking for several cars on a wide paved driveway and a detached garage. Solar panels are installed, which can reduce running costs, although they are subject to separate negotiation.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s so usual maintenance and updating may be needed in parts; services and appliances have not been tested and buyers should commission surveys. The area offers fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and access to well-rated schools, but the listing notes a higher local crime level and above-average council tax banding.
Overall this is an attractive family home offering room to grow, flexible work-from-home space and a large private garden. It will suit buyers seeking generous living space and outdoor amenity who are prepared to carry out routine updating and to verify services and installations before purchase.
