The Property

Set on an expansive plot with its own private driveway and a substantial double garage (recently re-roofed), this 1950s detached property presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to create their dream family home. Owned by the same family for over 40 years, the house is now ready for a complete renovation, offering endless potential to reimagine the space to suit modern living.

The property features four bedrooms—three generous doubles and a smaller fourth room ideal as a child’s room, office, or dressing room. Throughout the house, high ceilings and dual-aspect windows flood the interior with natural light, creating an impressive sense of space and openness.

While the home would benefit from a full update—including a new kitchen and bathroom—it has solid foundations to build upon. The windows and boiler were both replaced within the last 4–5 years and remain under warranty, offering a valuable head start for any project.

Outside, the large plot offers plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, or potential extension (subject to the usual consents). The driveway easily accommodates multiple vehicles, and the oversized garage provides excellent storage or workshop space.

With the right vision, this could become a truly stunning family home—don’t miss the chance to transform this property into something spectacular.
