A Handsome Red Brick Family Home in Horton Heath – No Forward Chain
Set within a peaceful cul-de-sac, this attractive four-bedroom detached house combines traditional charm with modern family living. The striking red brick façade is complemented by mock-Tudor detailing to the upper elevation, giving the property real kerb appeal. With two reception rooms, a wood-burning stove, landscaped gardens, a double garage, and generous driveway parking, this home blends character, comfort, and practicality – a perfect retreat for family life and entertaining.

Ground Floor
The house is approached via a brick-paved driveway leading to a double-glazed front door, which opens into a welcoming entrance hall. Here you’ll find a useful under-stairs cupboard, with doors giving access to the principal rooms and a cloakroom. The living room is a bright, spacious setting with sliding patio doors to the garden and a feature brick fireplace with wood-burning stove as its focal point. The dining room lies to the front, enjoying views across the garden.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room – a generous, well-planned space fitted with a range of wall and base units. Integrated appliances include a double electric oven and hob, with space for a dishwasher and large fridge-freezer. There’s ample room here for family meals or informal gatherings, while the adjoining utility room keeps laundry and household tasks neatly tucked away.

Upstairs
The turning staircase leads to a bright and spacious landing, featuring a Velux window and loft access. Bedroom one overlooks the rear garden and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room.
Three further double bedrooms each provide built-in storage, with bedroom two also enjoying views over the rear garden. Bedrooms three and four overlook the front, with bedroom four including a large fitted wardrobe. A well-appointed family bathroom serves these rooms, fitted with a bath, shower attachment, wash basin, and WC.

Outside
The exterior continues to impress. To the front, a brick-paved driveway provides ample parking and leads to the double garage. The handsome red brick façade, enhanced by mock-Tudor detailing on the upper elevation, creates a striking first impression. Mature planting and a neatly kept lawn soften the frontage, adding both greenery and kerb appeal.
A gated side access opens to the rear garden – a generous, private space with a wide patio stretching across the back of the house, ideal for entertaining or summer barbecues. Beyond the patio lies a broad lawn framed by mature shrubs and planting, offering both play space and privacy.
