A spacious four-bedroom detached home in Downshire Way, offered with no onward chain and generous driveway parking plus a double garage. The house has well-proportioned reception space — including a 24'3" living room and a separate dining room — and a large private rear garden, making it well suited to growing families.
The accommodation is broadly average-sized for its era and retains many 1980s fixtures. The kitchen and some internal finishes are dated and would benefit from modernization to unlock the property's full potential; the layout nonetheless provides clear scope for extension or reconfiguration (subject to consents). Heating is mains gas to a boiler and radiators, and the property sits on a large plot.
Practical considerations are important: the area records very high crime levels and council tax is described as expensive. The local neighbourhood is classified as hampered, and parts of the house show typical wear for homes constructed in the late 1960s–1970s. On the positive side, the location is close to Bracknell town centre, well-regarded schools and local parks, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for families and those working from home.
Overall this is a family-sized detached house with good plot size, parking and garden, offering solid long-term potential for buyers willing to invest in refurbishment and to weigh local area factors carefully.
