Description

This classic detached property sits on an expansive double plot of nearly a quarter of an acre, providing a rare opportunity for buyers with a vision. Having been a cherished family residence for half a century, the home presents itself as a project that requires modernisation and enhancement. The layout features a welcoming hallway with a convenient cloakroom and a coat cupboard. To the left, you’ll find a front-facing study through double doors, while another large reception room to the right also enjoys front views. A side bay window enhances the charm of the additional sitting room, which leads into a conservatory that offers lovely garden vistas but is in need of refurbishment. The dining room can be accessed from both the sitting room and hallway, complemented by a utility area and kitchen that would benefit from modern replacements. Upstairs, the landing provides access to an accommodating loft space which could potentially be converted into additional living areas (subject to planning consent). The main bedroom features stripped floorboards and an en-suite shower room, while there are four other bedrooms served by a spacious bathroom. The outside space is inviting, surrounded by mature trees and shrubs that provide privacy. Off-road parking is ample with space for multiple vehicles on the driveway, leading to a garage at the back featuring unique pine-lined vaulted ceilings and an inspection pit. An old summerhouse and small studio add to the potential of this outdoor area. Located within a conservation area with tree preservation orders in place, this property combines character with investment potential in desirable Highfield, close to local amenities including shops, hospitals, recreational facilities, and transport links. This home has endless possibilities for those looking to create their dream residence in an enviable location.
