Confidence: LOW

This spacious five-bedroom detached family home is set on a generous 0.8-acre plot in the desirable Letty Green area. While the interior shows visible signs of wear and is dated throughout, this presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers to reimagine and enhance the living space according to their preferences. With over 3,500 sq ft of accommodation, there is ample room for improvement and potential for extension, subject to planning consent.

The property benefits from a private carriage driveway and ample off-street parking, alongside a detached garage and an additional outbuilding, offering excellent storage options and further potential uses. The asking price of £1,750,000 is reasonable compared to the local average, sitting at £487/sq ft versus £512/sq ft. This light renovation project could yield significant value, particularly given its excellent location near local amenities and scenic countryside.
