Set in the centre of Mere Green, this 1930s detached family home offers four bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and a large plot with driveway parking for three plus a garage. The location is the main draw: walkable to shops, restaurants, fast transport links and several highly regarded primary and secondary schools, making it practical for growing families.
The house is traditional in layout with generous room sizes and a large oblong kitchen leading to a utility and rear garden. There is clear scope to extend to the side or convert rooms to create additional en-suite bedrooms, subject to planning — an opportunity for a buyer seeking added value through remodelling.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, double glazing was installed before 2002 and may be less efficient, and the property would benefit from modernisation in parts. Council tax is described as expensive and the local crime level is above average — both practical factors for household budgeting and insurance.
A significant sale condition is a purchaser fee (buyer’s premium) of 1% plus VAT of the final price (minimum £2,250 + VAT) payable on completion. Overall this is a well-located period home with spacious accommodation and development potential, best suited to families wanting local schools and amenities or buyers prepared to modernise for long-term value.
