Set on a very large, gated plot in sought-after Bamford, this five-bedroom detached house combines spacious family living with substantial development potential. The house offers four reception rooms, a basement for further extension, and a leisure wing with an indoor swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi — a high-spec feature that will need ongoing maintenance.
Garden and parking are major strengths: sweeping in-and-out driveway, double and single garages, and extensively landscaped grounds approaching half an acre. The plot previously had planning permission for two detached dwellings, presenting a clear opportunity for redevelopment or subdivision subject to current consents.
The property retains attractive period-style features such as an arched stained-glass landing window while the core construction dates from c.1976–82. Practical details: double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler with radiators, EPC rating D and freehold tenure. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
This home will suit a family seeking generous indoor/outdoor space and buyers looking for a one-off property with possibility to adapt or extend. It is a rare, substantial plot in a very affluent, low-crime area, but buyers should factor in running costs, pool upkeep and potential renovation works in the basement and other areas.
