Principal bedroom with en-suite and balcony panoramic views
Extensive private garden with timber cabin ideal for home office

Set on a generous private plot directly overlooking Werneth Low Country Park, this four-bedroom detached house delivers space, privacy and panoramic views. The property offers flexible family living across two floors with multiple reception rooms, a conservatory and a large kitchen with adjoining utility — ideal for entertaining, home working and family life.
The principal bedroom is a standout: a substantial suite with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and a private balcony capturing long-range countryside views. Outside, gated off-street parking, a well-maintained garden with mature planting and a versatile timber garden cabin extend living space and create a tranquil outdoor retreat.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas heating (boiler, radiators and some underfloor heating), fast broadband and an exceptionally long lease (922 years). The house dates from the 1930s–40s and retains character features such as bay windows and parquet in the hallway, but it would benefit from internal modernisation to bring kitchens, bathrooms and decor fully up to contemporary standards.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold (long remainder) and council tax is described as quite expensive. The cavity walls are understood to have been built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Overall, this is a rare family home in a prized setting that rewards sympathetic updating and offers strong lifestyle appeal for buyers seeking space, views and a peaceful suburban location.
