Set on the prestigious Woodcote Estate, this substantial five-bedroom detached house extends to over 3,100 sq ft and sits on a very large, secluded garden (approx. 108ft x 68ft). Period features such as leaded/multi-pane windows, fireplaces, high ceilings and a solid oak entrance door give strong character while triple glazing and mains gas central heating provide modern comfort. A double garage and wide driveway deliver generous off-street parking.
The layout includes three reception rooms, a breakfast/kitchen with utility room, principal bedroom with ensuite, family bathroom and a ground-floor WC. The utility links directly to the garage, offering practical family flow. Fast FTTP broadband and excellent mobile coverage make the house well suited to home-working and connected family life.
While the property has been maintained, it requires modernisation and upgrading throughout — there is clear scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration or extension (subject to planning) to unlock significant value. Cavity walls appear to have no added insulation and the house, built 1930–1949, will benefit from an updated services survey. Buyers should note a high Council Tax band (H).
This home will suit families seeking space, gardens and schools nearby, or buyers looking for a refurbishment project with strong potential for uplift given the plot size and location. Verify all specifics with surveys and planning advice before purchase.
