This detached four-bedroom villa occupies a generous plot in East Craigs, offering a rare combination of substantial outdoor space, a detached double garage and ample driveway parking. Split over multiple levels, the layout gives versatile living: a large front reception room, formal dining, conservatory and a lower-level bedroom suite that could serve as a principal or guest suite. The fitted kitchen and separate utility add practicality for family life.
The rear garden is well maintained with mature planting and a gated route to a communal lawn, creating a private outdoor retreat while backing onto green space. Practical positives include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working — and a modest annual communal grounds charge of £200.
The house shows period and mid-century features such as a brick fireplace and generous room proportions, but some areas will benefit from updating to meet contemporary tastes. The property is in Council Tax Band G, which is comparatively expensive. The wider area is recorded as having higher deprivation metrics; buyers should consider local amenity and service implications alongside the home's attributes.
This villa will suit buyers seeking long-term family accommodation with scope to modernise and personalise. It provides strong parking and storage, flexible internal arrangements and a sizeable private garden — attractive for families or those wanting single-level living with additional lower-level accommodation.
