Freehold former council/ICI property with character features
Local schools mixed; nearest primary rated Requires Improvement
This substantial five-bedroom semi-detached house sits in leafy Crooksbarn, a short walk from Norton Duck Pond and the village centre. Spacious reception rooms, a large private garden and a double garage create flexible family living and strong potential for home working or multigenerational arrangements.
The interior blends mid‑20th century character—bay windows and a period fireplace—with modern comforts such as mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). The breakfast kitchen and separate utility add everyday practicality while three reception rooms provide formal and informal living spaces.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property dates from the 1950–66 era so some elements may benefit from updating, and council tax sits at Band E. Local schools are a mixed set: nearby primary provision includes an Ofsted-rated ‘Requires Improvement’ school but also strong independent and good local options; an outstanding nearby secondary provides an attractive progression route.
This freehold house will suit families seeking roomy, characterful accommodation in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood. Buyers wanting move-in perfection should budget for period maintenance and to check glazing and services; those after a comfortable family home with scope to personalise will find significant appeal.
