Tucked into a quiet Highwoods street, this detached three-bedroom house suits growing families seeking convenience and outdoor space. The ground floor flows from a bright living room through a dining room into a conservatory that opens onto a private, well-screened rear garden — an easy layout for daily family life and weekend entertaining.
Upstairs the main bedroom includes fitted storage and a private en-suite, with two further flexible bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the first floor. Practical features include a detached single garage, off-road parking, double glazing and mains gas central heating — all typical of homes built in the early 1990s.
The location is a clear strength: walking distance to several well-rated primary and secondary schools, close to Highwoods Country Park, and convenient for local amenities and commuter routes. The property is freehold, unflooded, and sits in a low-crime neighbourhood with generally fast broadband and average mobile signal.
Buyers should note the house is average-sized throughout and offers conventional room proportions rather than large open-plan spaces. There are no notable views beyond the residential setting. Council tax is moderate. Overall this is a practical, well-located family home that will suit buyers looking for comfortable, move-in accommodation with scope to update or personalise over time.
