Quiet cul-de-sac living meets generous outdoor space in this detached three-bedroom home on Balmoral Close, offered chain free and marketed for the first time in over 60 years. Set on a large plot with a wide, west-facing rear garden, the house delivers privacy, mature landscaping and scope to reconfigure or extend (rear extension potential subject to planning permission).
The layout is traditional and substantial at roughly 1,246 sq ft, with two bathrooms, a garage/workshop and driveway parking. The property has mains gas central heating, filled cavity walls and double glazing already installed (pre-2002), giving a solid starting point for modernisation. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools and fast broadband make the location convenient for everyday life.
This is a clear renovation opportunity: the house needs updating throughout, and modern buyers should allow for refurbishment costs to bring services, finishes and décor up to contemporary standards. Note the property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics for the district, which some buyers may wish to consider when planning security improvements.
For a buyer seeking a private, roomy garden, single-level living potential and the chance to add value with sensitive modernisation or a rear extension (S.T.P.P.), this home presents a rare opportunity in a desirable Lawn cul-de-sac. Its retirement designation and single-owner history make it particularly suitable for buyers looking for a long-term, low-turnover neighbourhood.
