The principal suite includes a dressing room and en-suite, and a second bedroom also has an en-suite — practical for families or guests. A westerly-facing rear garden of over 50 ft catches afternoon and evening sun and backs onto open fields within easy walking distance, ideal for outdoor family time and local countryside access. The property sits in Roundwood close to several highly regarded junior and secondary schools.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house was built in the 1950s–60s and external walls are cavity as built (no added insulation assumed), so improving thermal performance may be advisable. Council Tax is Band G and described as quite expensive. The listing records the property as a retirement property, which may affect buyer suitability and mortgage options — confirm eligibility and any restrictions with your lender.
Overall, this is a large, comfortable family home in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It will particularly suit purchasers seeking substantial living space, good schooling nearby and the potential to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes on a generous plot.
