3 bedroom detached house for sale

A truly impressive and remarkably spacious detached Edwardian residence extending to approximately 2,500 square feet. Rich in character with a wealth of original features and generously proportioned, light-filled rooms throughout, the home also enjoys the rare advantage of a double garage and off-road parking in this sought-after area. Ideally positioned within easy reach of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, as well as Waitrose and the High Street. Though requiring updating, the property represents a superb opportunity to create a magnificent family home.

A traditional front door opens into a welcoming hallway where stairs rise to the first floor and a cloakroom with WC can be found. At the front of the house, the family room features a grand bay window and a fireplace. The main living room is particularly generous, complete with a further period fireplace and French doors opening into the dining area/conservatory, which stretches across the rear of the house and includes bi-fold doors leading out to the garden. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a selection of units.

From the conservatory, a door leads to a hallway, also accessible from the front of the house, which provides excellent storage and access to the cellar below. The first-floor landing boasts a very high ceiling and a hatch to the attic, which benefits from a window providing natural light. All three bedrooms are notably large and full of character, with bedrooms one and three especially distinguished by their expansive bay windows. A family bathroom and separate WC serve the sleeping quarters.

Outside: To the front, a wrought iron gate opens to a paved garden enclosed by matching railings set between brick pillars.

The rear garden is an exceptional feature, generously sized and predominantly paved, with a specimen magnolia tree and an ornamental pond. At the far end stands a brick-built garden room, ideal for entertaining, complete with a pizza oven. Beyond this lies the double garage and parking area, accessed by vehicle via a shared driveway from the road behind.
