Description

Built in 1933 and offered for the first time in over 30 years, this four-bedroom detached house sits on a mature plot of around a quarter of an acre in Hall Park. The town centre is approximately three-quarters of a mile away and the railway station around a mile away. Period features include the oak entrance door and flooring, original joinery, Crittall windows and brass fittings. The ground floor has two connected reception rooms, with a bay-windowed sitting room and fireplace leading through an arched opening to the dining room. A separate family room is also provided. The kitchen and breakfast room has Shaker-style cabinets, granite worktops and an Aga, with a utility room, cloakroom and conservatory alongside. The conservatory and dining room open towards the rear garden. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, plus a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. A boarded loft provides scope for possible conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The rear garden is approximately 140ft long, with established planting, lawn, a paved terrace and an outdoor swimming pool. At the front, a broad driveway provides off-road parking and leads to an attached double-length garage. An EV charging point is installed. The house retains its original character and the listing notes scope to extend or remodel, with any proposals requiring appropriate checks and consents.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Acrea offers a distinctive period-house project: bright reception rooms, original 1930s details and a mature quarter-acre garden with a pool give it a strong canvas, while the kitchen and some bedroom finishes offer scope for selective cosmetic updating. The listing also points to possible loft conversion or extension potential, subject to consents and feasibility.

The main constraint is value: at £675 per sq ft, the asking price is around 13.6% above the local average. With the purchase price and refurbishment midpoint included, costs also look tight against local benchmarks, so the project’s appeal rests more on the house and plot than on an obvious price-led margin.

Key opportunities

  • Retain and celebrate original features such as the oak flooring, Crittall windows, brass fittings and 1930s staircase.
  • Refresh the older kitchen styling and selected bedroom finishes without needing a whole-house overhaul.
  • Make the most of the long, mature garden, terrace and pool; the boarded loft and stated extension or remodelling potential offer further possibilities subject to consents and feasibility.

Key risks

  • The pool and its equipment condition and running costs are not established.
