This substantial four-bedroom detached house offers over 2,500 sq ft of flexible family living close to schools and local amenities. The ground floor layout includes a bright living room with patio doors to the rear garden, a separate dining room with a bay window, an office, and a practical utility room — well suited to a busy household. The double-length garage has been adapted into a home gym and a bar, creating attractive leisure space without losing parking potential on the large driveway.
The first floor provides four generous bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite, and a modern family bathroom. Outside, the expansive rear garden enjoys direct access to Boadicea Way Playground — an immediate benefit for families with children and for outdoor entertaining. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Be aware of a few material issues: the exterior shows wear and there is reported roof damage that will need attention. The local area is classified as hampered/ageing industrial workers with higher deprivation indicators, and council tax is described as expensive. These factors should be weighed against the property’s size, leisure conversion and family-friendly setting.
Overall, this home will suit a family seeking generous internal space, strong leisure potential and a large garden, and will repay modest investment to address external repairs and personalise interiors.
