Set on the edge of Ruardean, this 1950s semi-detached house offers three bedrooms, generous gardens and far-reaching mountain views — a peaceful family base with clear scope to personalise. The sitting room retains a stone fireplace and a comfortable layout, while the rear garden with patio, wildlife pond and mature planting gives children space to play and room for vegetable beds or a larger landscaping project.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating, double glazing and a downstairs cloakroom. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but date from an earlier era, so the house will suit a buyer ready to refresh surfaces and fittings to suit modern tastes. The overall footprint is modest at about 682 sq ft, so families should note compact room sizes and storage positioned around the hot water tank in a built-in cupboard.
There is no onward chain and the property is freehold, which can simplify purchase. Broadband speeds are fast for the area and local primary and secondary schools rated 'Good' are close by. The village location suits those who enjoy countryside walking and a quieter pace of life, though some services and amenities will be a short drive away.
Important practical points: the home runs on an oil boiler (not a community supply), the double glazing install date is unknown, and the layout and finishes will benefit from updating. Buyers wanting immediate move-in with cosmetic improvements, or investors seeking a renovation opportunity in a scenic village setting, should inspect to judge potential and running costs.
