Large garden, garage and self-contained annexe — ideal family living close to transport links.
Detached mid-century family home on a large plot
Set on a large plot in sought-after Spencers Wood, this mid-20th-century detached home balances character and flexible living across c.1,883 sq ft. The well-maintained rear garden, generous driveway and large garage with electric door create excellent family outdoor and parking space. A self-contained outbuilding with kitchen and shower currently used as a gym offers genuine annexe or home-office potential.
Inside, up to four reception rooms deliver adaptable space for living, working and entertaining: formal dining, a bright living room with bay window and French doors to the garden, a front study and a fourth room suitable as a bedroom or family sitting room. Three upstairs bedrooms include a generous master with built-in wardrobes and en-suite; a contemporary family bathroom serves the rest.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and easy access to the M4 and local rail/bus links, making commuting straightforward. Nearby good primary schools and green spaces suit family life in an affluent, peaceful village setting.
Notable considerations: the house dates from the 1950s–60s and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so energy bills and fabric upgrades could be a future cost. Council tax band is not provided. Overall this is a spacious, versatile family home with a useful self-contained annexe and substantial garden on a large plot.
