A rare opportunity to buy a 1950s detached family house owned by the same vendors since construction. Set on a generous plot in lower Cimla, the home keeps many original period features — stained glass, wood‑block parquet, bay windows and Art Deco fireplaces — that give the property strong character and immediate kerb appeal. It is chain free and within walking distance of schools, local shops and Gnoll Country Park.
The layout suits a family: two reception rooms plus a kitchen on the ground floor and three bedrooms with a family bathroom and separate WC upstairs. Practical benefits include off‑road parking, a garage with electrics and plumbing, a decent-sized front and rear garden, and good local connectivity (excellent mobile signal, fast broadband).
Buyers should note the property is dated in places and will benefit from modernization to kitchens, bathrooms and decorative finishes to meet contemporary expectations. The garage has a small inspection pit and there is an external toilet, which may require attention. The house sits in an area with higher deprivation metrics, which may affect long‑term resale considerations but current demand in lower Cimla remains steady for family buyers.
This house will suit purchasers seeking a characterful family home with scope to update and personalise rather than a fully renovated turn‑key property. With vacant possession and a solid mid‑century structure (filled cavity walls, double glazing, gas central heating), it offers a workable canvas for sympathetic improvement and future value uplift.
