This 1930s detached family home on Forest Road offers generously proportioned living across an average-sized 1,378 sq ft footprint and sits on a large plot with a long (c.90ft) private rear garden. Period features include bay windows, original fireplaces and high ceilings in key rooms, while a conservatory and an ensuite to the principal bedroom add useful, flexible space for family life. The property includes a garage and a wide driveway providing multiple off-road parking spaces.
The house is largely double glazed and has mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Layout and room sizes suit families: separate lounge and dining rooms, a fitted kitchen with island and pantry, ground-floor WC and four well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs. The loft is insulated and partially boarded, offering further storage or conversion potential (no ladder fitted).
There are practical matters buyers should note: the solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and some rooms and finishes show dated wear and will benefit from updating. The area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, which can mean greater local activity and less residential quiet at times. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high and council tax is described as expensive — both important considerations for buyers and insurers.
Overall this property will suit families looking for space, school access and garden amenity in a sought-after Forest-side location, or buyers seeking a period house with scope to modernise and add value. A survey is recommended to confirm service condition and insulation improvements before purchase.
