Set back from the road and adorned with wisteria, Balmoral on Green Lane is a charming four-bedroom Arts and Crafts detached home, built in 1953 by the renowned Bunce Brothers Builders.

With potential scope for extension, it offers a rare opportunity to create a forever home in a popular location.

The luxurious family bathroom, updated in 2023, is fitted with Porcelanosa tiles, a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall, a Crosswater vanity unit, and an American walnut basin.

A pull-down ladder leads to a fully insulated loft, offering clear potential for conversion into additional living space—perfect for those seeking to future-proof their home.

Garden and Grounds

Beyond the double wooden front gates lies a peaceful front garden and an extended driveway, providing ample parking and a grand sense of arrival. Situated on the highly sought-after Green Lane—known for its charming lamp posts, grassy verges, and mature hedges—Balmoral balances privacy with presence. A ‘secret’ garden sits discreetly behind a graceful yew hedge, adding to its unique charm.

The home retains its original Crittall Homelight leaded steel and oak-framed windows, now lovingly restored with brass handles and rich oak surrounds—an elegant tribute to its architectural heritage.

Outside, the mature 90-foot (approx. 27-metre) rear garden is a private oasis, framed by sculpted, irrigated borders and enclosed by towering copper beech and laurel hedges. This tranquil space also includes a manicured lawn, greenhouse, and wooden shed—ideal for families or gardening enthusiasts alike.
