A roomy three-bedroom detached home on Elmwood Drive that’s offered chain free and ready for a family to move in. The house sits on a decent plot with off-street parking, a garage and a private rear garden — practical for day-to-day family life and weekend relaxation.
Interior spaces feel bright and functional: a generous living room, separate dining area and a contemporary kitchen provide comfortable living and entertaining zones. The principal bedroom is notably spacious and the two further bedrooms work well for children, guests or a home office.
Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the property is structurally straightforward but shows signs of its era. Walls are cavity-built with no confirmed insulation, the energy performance is moderate, and the house may benefit from targeted upgrading (insulation, windows or systems) to reduce running costs. Broadband speeds are slow in this location — important if you rely on fast home internet.
Practical positives: no flood risk, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and nearby good primary schools. Overall this is a solid family home in a peaceful town-fringe setting that will suit buyers wanting immediate occupation with clear scope to modernise and improve energy efficiency over time.
