Technology & running costs
* Full-fibre (FTTP) broadband with speeds of up to 1Gb available.
* Nest smart thermostat fitted for remote heating control.
* The house was previously used as a testbed for smart home technology. The equipment has been removed, but the underlying infrastructure remains, ready for a new owner to reinstate or expand a system of their own.

Opportunity
Homes of this size, on a plot of this size, rarely come to the market on Preston Road. The house offers the space, layout and structural peace of mind of a new roof, while leaving the next owner free to update the interior to their own specification - an opportunity to add significant value without the compromise of paying for someone else's refurbishment. With no onward chain, a smooth and timely move is possible.

Agent's note
The roof structure and coverings were renewed in Sept 2026. Details of the works, including any guarantee, are available on request.
