Description

This spacious five-bedroom detached home is positioned on a substantial corner plot in the desirable Sir John Lawes School catchment. Upon entering, you’ll find a welcoming entrance hall and cloakroom leading to well-maintained interiors. The ground floor offers a generous 20ft lounge complete with a working fireplace, a separate study ideal for home office use, and a family room that could easily be transformed into a gym or play area. The open-plan kitchen diner serves as the hub of the home, presenting opportunities for modernisation that could further enhance its appeal for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Upstairs, the master bedroom features an en-suite shower room, complemented by four additional bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom—ideal for accommodating growing families. Outdoors, the property boasts a large south-facing garden, perfect for children’s playtime or summer events. With its lawned area bordered by mature shrubs and plants providing year-round interest, along with an ample patio space suited for al fresco dining, this garden is both functional and inviting. Additional conveniences include off-street parking for multiple vehicles, an integral garage providing valuable storage options, and an EV charging point. Notably, previous planning permission was granted to extend above the garage—offering potential for further development (subject to planning permission). This residence presents an outstanding opportunity not only for those seeking spacious living but also for investors looking to capitalise on renovation potential in a prime location.
