Why you’ll like it:
Set back from the road and surrounded by greenery, this attractive mid-century home offers a rare sense of privacy for the area. Unlike many estate properties nearby, it benefits from a more tucked-away position, enhanced by dual access from both the front and rear, including a back gate leading directly onto Selham Close. This not only adds convenience but also strengthens its connection to the local community, with easy access to nearby schools and the local library.

Inside, the property offers generous and versatile living space, typical of its era, with well-proportioned rooms and excellent scope for modernisation or extension (subject to the necessary consents).

A central hallway leads to the main ground floor rooms. The front reception room is bright and spacious, ideal for relaxing, while the separate dining room is perfect for family meals or entertaining. To the rear, a conservatory floods the space with natural light and creates a seamless link to the garden.

The kitchen sits alongside a breakfast room, forming a sociable hub with potential to open up or reconfigure. There is also useful side access and a connection to a lower garden nook.
Upstairs, the chalet design provides three well-sized bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles and a versatile third room, ideal as a smaller bedroom or home office. These are served by a spacious family bathroom, offering further scope to update and personalise.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, providing ample space for outdoor living, gardening, or future expansion. The property also benefits from a private garage, additional outbuildings, and a shared driveway.
