Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this sizeable freehold family home offers flexible living across two floors with strong practical benefits. The property features a newly fitted boiler, UPVC double glazing, a double garage and a driveway with off-street parking for several vehicles. The long rear garden, partly wooded with established planting, is a standout for outdoor living and potential extension subject to consent.
Internally the layout suits a growing family: a wide hallway with storage, a large lounge, a fitted kitchen with breakfast area and garden access, separate utility, ground-floor shower/WC and an additional reception that can double as a fifth bedroom or dining room. Four double bedrooms upstairs all have built-in storage and are served by a family bathroom. Room sizes are generally generous and light-filled.
Important considerations: the house dates from the 1980s and presents some cosmetic and modernisation needs to match contemporary finishes; budget for updating kitchens, bathrooms and decorative work if desired. Council tax is above average and the immediate area records above-average crime compared with national figures. The surrounding neighbourhood is described as ageing suburbanites within a wider classification of detached retirement living, which may influence long-term local buyer demand.
For families the location is strong — several well-regarded primary schools nearby, bus links, local shops and relatively quick access to the Conquest Hospital, town centre and seafront. Investors should note the size, garden and parking as value drivers but balance those against area-level social and council-tax factors. Overall this is a roomy, practical home with clear scope to add value through targeted refurbishment.
