The Property

Set prominently on the street, this four-bedroom detached home dates from the early 1980s and offers well-balanced accommodation with generous room sizes throughout. The brick-built exterior and traditional layout create a home that feels solid and practical, with clear potential for a new owner to modernise and personalise over time.

The ground floor is centred around a spacious entrance hallway, where a ground floor WC and an original glass brick feature wall allow light to filter through from the main living area. The lounge is a particularly comfortable room, stretching across the front of the property with a wide picture window that brings in plenty of natural light. Folding doors connect through to the dining room, creating flexibility for everyday living or for opening the space up when entertaining. The dining room enjoys views across the rear garden and comfortably accommodates a large dining table, making it a natural place for family meals and gatherings. The kitchen sits to the rear of the home and offers a practical layout with good storage and worktop space, along with direct access to the rear patio and garden.

Upstairs, the layout continues to offer excellent proportions. There are three double bedrooms along with a well-sized fourth single that could also serve as a study or nursery. The main bathroom is notably spacious and currently fitted with a four-piece suite including bath, separate shower, bidet and WC. For buyers looking to reconfigure, the size of the room offers potential to adapt the layout or explore creating an en suite to the main bedroom.

Outside, the rear garden is south facing and mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature planting and raised rockery areas that add interest and privacy. A patio seating area provides a pleasant spot to sit out and enjoy the sun through the day. To the front, the property benefits from driveway parking and an attached garage, completing the practical features of this well-proportioned family home.
