Set over three floors, this well-kept semi-detached house on Duchy Drive offers generous, flexible living across about 1,398 sq ft. Large windows and a sensible layout create bright reception rooms and bedroom space that will suit a range of buyers — from those downsizing who want ground-floor convenience to small families seeking extra rooms. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and solar panels, which help running costs.
Outside the house, a double-width driveway provides convenient off-street parking and leads to a former garage now used as a store/utility space. The large, private rear garden and paved sun patio frame the home and provide a quiet outdoor retreat for gardening or sociable summer use. The plot size and overall footprint also offer potential for modest extension subject to permissions.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low local crime, no flood risk and affordable council tax. The local area is classified as ageing suburbanites/detached retirement living, so the neighbourhood is generally quiet and settled — attractive to downsizers and those seeking a calmer location. Good local schools and fast broadband add to everyday convenience.
A factual note on condition: the house dates from the late 1960s–1970s, so some buyers may want to update kitchen or bathroom fittings to modern tastes. The listing images show well-maintained interiors, but the kitchen layout appears compact. Buyers should inspect to confirm scope for any refurbishment they plan.
