Comfortable two-bedroom semi-detached home in Benson, set just off the village centre and backing onto the brook. The house offers well-proportioned living space (about 1,017 sqft) including a large sitting room, conservatory and a secluded, three-tier rear garden — good for outdoor life and family play. A single garage and driveway provide parking and storage.
Practical benefits include double glazing, a decent plot, very low local crime and fast broadband — useful for home working. The property is freehold with a moderate council tax band and sits in an affluent, primarily suburban area with good local schools and amenities within easy reach.
Important considerations: the location is in a high flood-risk area — buyers should obtain flood-cover and insurance advice and check recent flood history. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so expect higher running costs and potential energy-efficiency upgrades. The house dates from the mid-20th century and may benefit from targeted refurbishment to improve thermal performance and modernise services.
Overall this home suits families or downsizers who value a peaceful village setting, private multi-level garden and convenient parking, and who are comfortable assessing flood mitigation and energy upgrade options.
