4 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful family home near new Bluecoat Academy; scope to restore original floors and improve energy efficiency..
Double bay-fronted detached 1930s house with original features
This 1930s double bay-fronted detached house combines generous living space with original period features, ideal for families seeking character and scope to personalise. The ground floor offers a lounge with original fireplace, a separate reception room/home office, dining room with timber parquet, and a kitchen with pantry — parquet and terrazzo flooring survive beneath current coverings, presenting restoration potential.
Layout flexibility includes three bedrooms plus a fourth accessed via the main bedroom, useful as a dressing room or nursery but limiting privacy. Upstairs has a single family bathroom with a separate adjoining WC. Practical extras include a UPVC conservatory, block-paved driveway, garage and a low-maintenance rear garden suitable for children or busy households.
Buyers should note the property needs energy improvements: EPC rating F, double glazing installed pre-2002 and solid brick walls likely without modern insulation. Some refurbishment and updating will be required to modernise heating, insulation and finishes, but those works would release strong character and add value.
Positioned close to the new Bluecoat Academy and several well-rated primary and secondary schools, this home suits families prioritising local schooling and easy commuting. For purchasers happy to carry out targeted upgrades, the house offers solid bones, parking, outdoor space and handsome period detail.
