Beautifully refurbished and set on a generous corner plot, this three-bedroom detached home on Charnwood Drive suits growing families seeking space and convenience. The house blends period character—bay window and exposed brick chimney—with a contemporary extended sitting room, stylish breakfast kitchen and practical utility and boot rooms. Bi-fold doors connect the living area to well-planned outdoor entertaining spaces and a shaped lawn.
Practical features include a newly built double garage with electric sectional door, gated rear driveway (planning permission granted for a dropped kerb to the front), boarded loft room and fast full-fibre broadband (521 Mbps). The property has modern comforts: underfloor heating in the wet room and refitted family bathroom, a cast-iron log burner, and recently fitted double glazing.
Notable considerations: the EPC rating is E and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation works could improve energy efficiency and running costs. While the house has been thoroughly refurbished, buyers wanting a top EPC rating should budget for additional insulation or energy upgrades. The property is freehold and in a low flood-risk area, in an affluent village location with good primary schools nearby.
This home offers a practical, comfortable layout for family life and entertaining, with scope to increase efficiency and value through targeted improvements. Its mix of character and contemporary upgrades makes it move-in ready while still delivering sensible potential for enhancement.
