Located in the desirable area of Clayton-le-Moors, this substantial detached family residence from the 1950s presents a unique chance for buyers interested in a property with both character and plenty of renovation scope. Set on a generous 3/4 acre plot, the home boasts impressive views over beautifully maintained gardens and nearby Mercer Park, making it an attractive setting for modern family living. With nearly four decades under the current ownership, this property carries a rich history and could benefit from thoughtful updates to enhance its appeal further.
The ground floor features an inviting entrance hallway that retains original parquet flooring alongside neutral tones, leading towards spacious reception areas including a formal dining room enriched by a bay window and fireplace. The snug extension offers flexibility as a breakfast room or home office, opening onto the garden, while the lounge is warmed by natural light through its bay windows and has access to an airy garden room. The traditional kitchen is outfitted with pine cabinetry and quartz worktops but may require updating to reflect modern expectations.
Upstairs, you'll find four well-sized bedrooms along with a contemporary bathroom that showcases quality fixtures. However, some internal cosmetic improvements could elevate this space significantly.
Additionally, outside features include a large stone double garage—historically used as a coach house—with potential for conversion into an annexe (subject to planning), further adding to the investment appeal. The expansive gardens offer numerous cultivated areas along with ample off-street parking and secluded spaces surrounded by mature trees—a perfect blend for those seeking tranquillity within this vibrant community.
