Chain-free three-bedroom with generous garden and versatile outbuilding.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house
Set on Chapelgate in Sutton St. James, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or improvement. The property delivers two reception rooms, a modern-feeling kitchen with utility, downstairs WC and a usable family bathroom upstairs. An enclosed rear garden, good gravel drive for several cars and a timber outbuilding with adjoining store add useful space for home working or hobbies.
The location suits families seeking a quiet, semi-rural village lifestyle with a primary school, shop and pub within easy reach. Strong practical benefits include off-street parking, double doors from the lounge onto the garden and a decent plot with two-tier patio and lawn. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler (oil supply is not on a community scheme), broadband speeds are slow, and the glazing was installed before 2002. Some internal plaster damage is visible and the property dates from the early 20th century, so buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and potential updates. Prospective purchasers are advised to arrange their own service checks and surveys.
Overall this is a sensible family purchase in a quieter village setting: comfortable now, with scope to modernise, extend or enhance the garden and outbuilding to suit home-office or gym needs. Low running council tax and the chain-free position make it straightforward to progress for those who prioritise space and village life.
