Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, this charming detached family residence combines character with substantial potential for renovation and extension (subject to planning permissions). The property spans three levels and is set within a generous plot that benefits from plenty of sunlight. Approaching the home, you will find a mature garden complemented by a spacious driveway accommodating several vehicles. Inside, the welcoming entrance hall provides access to the main living areas as well as a convenient cloakroom. The living room, which boasts a lovely bay window and fireplace, seamlessly flows into an expansive conservatory offering delightful garden views—ideal for both entertaining guests and enjoying serene moments outdoors. The kitchen is equipped with essential appliances and opens into a dining area enhanced by a striking full-height window overlooking the front garden. On the first floor, the principal bedroom features dual-aspect windows and an en-suite shower room, while two additional generously-sized double bedrooms share a family bathroom. An additional staircase leads up to the loft room, which is illuminated by a dormer window and presents flexible usage options such as an office or craft space. The South-West facing rear garden truly stands out at approximately 157ft long, complete with a large patio area, brick-built BBQ, raised beds, decking, and established trees—making it perfect for family gatherings or quiet retreats. Moreover, at the far end of the garden lies two storage sheds alongside a historical WW2 air-raid shelter that adds unique character to this outdoor space. This property presents itself not only as a comfortable family home but also as an excellent investment opportunity with ample scope for personalisation and enhancement.
