Set on a large plot in Stoke Park, this chain-free five-bedroom detached house offers roomy family living and strong scope to personalise. The home’s period character — fireplaces, cornicing and high ceilings in parts — gives living spaces warmth and charm, while a rear kitchen-diner and separate office suit everyday family life and home working.
Practical features include two driveway spaces plus a garage, a large rear garden and three bathrooms to support a busy household. Nearby schools include an Outstanding primary and two Good secondaries, and local amenities and transport links are within easy reach.
The property does require modernisation in places and presents clear scope for improvement: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, the EPC rating is TBC (an older heating system is in place), and the council tax sits in band E. The area records higher-than-average crime statistics, which buyers should weigh alongside the home’s size and potential.
For families looking for space to grow, or buyers wanting a substantial period home to update and increase value, this house is a rare outright purchase opportunity in a well-connected inner-city location.
