Description

Do You Recreate Your Own Wimbledon Final Or Serve Up A Second Home On The Tennis Court? A superb hidden gem with space to spare and gorgeous private grounds - plus five double bedrooms and a ground floor made for big families who live life to the full.

Do you chalk the tramlines and work on your serve? Or get plans drawn up and build something brilliant. 

Oaklea is designed for families who want to squeeze the last drop of life from every day. Its sociable setup will be perfect for entertaining crowds, all-day birthday parties that stretch into the night and family Friday nights that spill into the snug. 

And if that still isn’t enough, the tennis court’s yours to play with or build on – with outline planning permission already in place. 

Inside, there’s plenty to get excited about. Downstairs is all about living well and gathering often. Whether it’s serving a Sunday roast in the gorgeous quartz-topped kitchen/diner, a film night in the snug, or a quiet morning coffee in the huge L-shaped conservatory, there’s room for everyone to spread out – or come together.

Upstairs has five genuine double bedrooms including a spacious main with en-suite, and a stunning family bathroom with a freestanding bath, separate shower and twin sinks.

The double garage has power, water and electric doors. You may want to keep it as space for cars, tools, gym kit or a hobby space or you could look into converting it into a granny flat annexe or a teenagers home within a home.

And then there are the grounds, spanning approximately 2.5 acres. There’s a sweeping drive, mature woodland and gorgeous gardens giving you wraparound privacy, with a choice of seating areas and more lawn than most parks.  

It’s immaculate but not intimidating – and it’s easy to imagine kids tearing round on bikes, or grown-ups winding down with a glass of something chilled in hand.

This has been a much-loved home for over 25 years, and it shows in all the right ways. The upkeep is spotless, the layout is family-friendly and the vibe is warm and welcoming from the moment you step inside.

It’s set back off a quiet no-through road so there’s minimal traffic, and the private gated grounds give it something of a semi-rural atmosphere - you wouldn’t guess that it takes less than 20 minutes to walk to town.

If you have young children, Bransty Primary School is less than a 10 minute walk away.

For older kids, St Benedict's Catholic High School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only  4 minutes drive or a pleasant 30 minute walk away. 

This is a unique family home that gives you rare privacy in the heart of town, an immaculate layout made for real family life and gated grounds most people only dream of – complete with its own tennis court and the green light to do even more.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning buyers so get in touch to arrange your private viewing.
