Description

This well-maintained family residence has been cherished by the same owners for over 38 years, offering a unique opportunity for new buyers to enjoy its immediate comforts while exploring its renovation potential. With a layout spread across two levels, the home features three bedrooms—two spacious doubles and a practical single—which are all enhanced by double-glazed windows. Notably, there's ample opportunity to extend both to the side and rear (subject to planning permissions), particularly given the generous 40ft east-facing garden that adds considerable outdoor appeal. The welcoming entrance hall leads into versatile living spaces, including a bright sitting/dining room that flows into a conservatory, providing lovely garden views and an abundance of natural light. A convenient study or home office on the ground floor caters perfectly to modern working-from-home needs, alongside a downstairs bathroom for added practicality. The kitchen's proximity to both the dining area and the garden allows for easy access when entertaining or enjoying family meals outside. On the first floor, a central landing connects all three bedrooms to a stylish family bathroom, making this property ideal for growing families seeking comfortable accommodation. Externally, the property boasts off-road parking for two to three vehicles and a detached garage, which is increasingly rare in this desirable cul-de-sac location. Located near excellent schooling options like The Grove School with its 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating, as well as local amenities and parks, this home provides an enviable environment for family life while also representing significant investment potential through future enhancements.
