Description

This spacious detached property sits on a generous double plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, presenting a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in a substantial family home that has been cherished by the same owners for half a century. While the house is in need of modernization, it boasts impressive room proportions and multiple reception areas, making it an ideal candidate for renovation. The ground floor features a hallway with useful cloakroom facilities and a study that looks out to the front garden. Additionally, there are two large reception rooms, one leading to a conservatory with garden views that would benefit from updating. The dining room connects both to the hallway and the sitting room, creating an open flow perfect for entertaining. The kitchen requires replacement but offers scope for modern upgrades. On the first floor, you'll find five bedrooms including a main bedroom with an en-suite shower room and potential for further loft conversion, subject to planning consent. Outside, the mature garden offers privacy with established trees and shrubs, while off-road parking accommodates several vehicles along with access to a garage featuring unique elements like a vaulted ceiling and inspection pit. This property is set within a conservation area and is ideally located near essential amenities, parks, educational institutions, and transport links. Its investment potential lies not only in its size but also in its location within the desired Highfield area.
