This substantial 5/6-bedroom detached family home on Crofton Avenue offers flexible space across roughly 1,523 sq ft, suited to a growing household. Two generous reception rooms and a large kitchen/diner provide practical family living and entertaining space, while all bedrooms are well proportioned for family, guests or home working. The property is fully double glazed and gas centrally heated for year-round comfort.
Outside, a wide driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a large private rear garden includes a two-storey children’s playhouse and substantial shed storage. The house sits in a quiet, tree-lined residential road within easy walking distance of the local station and close to several well-regarded grammar and primary schools, making it particularly convenient for commuters and school-focused families.
There is clear scope to increase value and living space: loft extension potential (subject to planning permission) and further modernization opportunities throughout. The house dates from the mid-20th century and shows signs of wear; it will suit buyers prepared to update kitchens, bathrooms and general finishes to their own taste. The garden has areas that are overgrown and will need attention to restore its full potential.
Practical considerations: the property sits in an area with medium flooding risk and the council tax is noted as quite expensive — both factors to assess when budgeting. Overall, this is a large, well-located family plot with strong future upside for buyers willing to refurbish and possibly extend.
