Set on a slightly elevated plot in the town centre, this three-storey detached family home offers four bedrooms, a double garage and an expansive split-level rear garden. The open-plan family and dining rooms, separate living room and ground-floor office provide flexible living space for a growing household, while the large block‑paved double driveway delivers plentiful off‑street parking. The property is offered chain free and has an EPC rating of C.
The garden is a standout feature: mature planting, terraces, koi pond and storage sheds create extensive outdoor space for children, gardening or entertaining. Internally the house retains practical 1980s proportions and neutral finishes; rooms are generous and could be modernised or reconfigured to increase value. The lower level includes additional storage rooms adjacent to the garage, useful for hobbies or tools.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are slow in this area and council tax is above average. The wider neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the local area is classified as deprived — buyers should consider security and running costs. Built in the 1980s with filled cavity walls and double glazing, the property is gas‑heated via boiler and radiators and appears structurally sound but would benefit from cosmetic updating to suit contemporary tastes.
This home will suit families who prioritise space, off‑street parking and large mature gardens within walking distance of town amenities and good schools. It also offers scope for renovation or reconfiguration (subject to planning) to create more contemporary living spaces and potentially add value.
