This well-proportioned four-bedroom detached house offers roomy, practical living arranged over two floors — ideal for growing families seeking space and convenience. The ground floor provides three reception rooms plus a study, a kitchen with dining area and a utility, while the first floor includes a master bedroom with en-suite and three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. Double glazing and a mains-gas boiler provide reliable comfort; the property dates from c.1996–2002 and is presented in good order.
Outside, the house sits on a decent plot with a private, fully enclosed rear garden, paved driveway and a large integrated double garage — generous storage and parking for multiple vehicles. The location is peaceful and affluent, walking distance to several well-regarded primary schools and within the catchment for Hutton Grammar School. Road links reach the motorway in about 20 minutes, and local shops, cafes and parks are close by.
Buyers should note a few practical limitations: broadband speeds in the immediate area are slow, which may affect home working or heavy streaming without alternative solutions; council tax is in Band E (above average); and the EPC rating is C, so further insulation or efficiency upgrades could reduce running costs. Mobile signal is excellent, and there is low local crime, which helps offset these points. Overall, this is a substantial family home in a desirable suburban setting with good schools and strong transport links.
