A well-proportioned four-bedroom family house offering comfortable living across well-laid-out ground and first floors. The living room links to a dining area and kitchen-breakfast room; a separate family room and study add useful flexibility for family life or home working. The master bedroom has an ensuite and there is a private rear garden for relaxing or entertaining.
Practical features include a double garage and driveway, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing installed after 2002, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The home is freehold and sits within walking distance of Radstock Primary and the outstanding Maiden Erlegh secondary school — a strong draw for families.
Note the property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and retains some period 1970s styling; sensitive updating will reveal further potential. The garage could be converted to additional living space but would require the necessary permissions. Council Tax Band F is expensive and local recorded crime is above average — factors to consider alongside the area's overall affluence and excellent transport links.
Overall this is a family-focused home in a sought-after school catchment with clear scope for modernisation, more living space if permitted, and a private garden — appealing to buyers seeking space, location and long-term value.
