Set just 207 metres from the highly regarded Beaumont School, this bay‑fronted three‑bed semi offers a straightforward family layout with genuine scope to add space (side, rear and loft subject to planning). The house is chain free and sits on a long, established plot with off‑street parking and a detached garage — immediate practical benefits for families and investors alike.
Internally the property is useable now but shows dated fittings and wear, making it a good candidate for renovation or partial modernisation. Accommodation comprises an entrance hall with downstairs WC, a bay‑front living room that opens to a conservatory, a dual‑aspect kitchen and three well‑proportioned bedrooms served by a single bathroom. The conservatory and generous rear garden (over 100ft) extend the living space in warmer months and create clear scope for an enlarged footprint if planning permits.
Construction is mid‑20th century solid brick with double glazing; however walls are likely uninsulated and some external finishes show normal weathering. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators. Buyers should note a single family bathroom only, dated internal decor, and above‑average council tax. For those seeking space to add value, the planning potential and long rear garden are key selling points in this affluent, low‑crime area close to local shops and transport.
This property will suit growing families wanting school proximity and garden space, or buyers aiming to refurbish and extend to increase living area and long‑term value. The house is ready for immediate occupation while offering clear upside for improvement and extension subject to the usual permissions.
