Set at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac on Ashford Rise, this substantial four-bedroom detached house combines immediate family comfort with clear scope for improvement. The home’s open-plan living, full-width 25ft sunroom and French doors create light-filled, sociable spaces that flow directly to a large private garden — ideal for family life and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with shaker cabinetry and granite worktops and links to a practical utility. Ground-floor benefits include a porch, downstairs WC and an oversized double garage with previous planning for an extension above — useful potential for more living space or an annexe. Upstairs, three double bedrooms and a single sit off a broad landing; two bedrooms are currently interlinked. The house is sizeable (approx. 1,943 sq ft) and ready to be lived in while offering room to modernise.
Notable positives are excellent local schools (including an Outstanding primary), very low crime, fast broadband and strong transport links to the M6/M61. The plot is large and maturely planted, with a flagged seating area and a two-car driveway.
Practical considerations: the property dates from the mid-20th century and some elements are of their period, so updating may be needed. External cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation — improving thermal performance may be required. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this is a spacious family home with good bones, significant scope to personalise, and potential to increase value through targeted investment.
