What The Owner Says
"I've thoroughly loved living here for the last 29 years. What first attracted me to the house were the windows and the bay window in particular, the natural light throughout is wonderful. I also liked that there was potential to extend if we wanted to. The garden's south-facing aspect was a big draw too, along with good bus routes and easy access to schools. There are some great walks on the doorstep, you can pick up the conduit from Spider Park over to Redmires Reservoirs and Wyming Brook, or head down to Fulwood Village and walk through the Mayfield Valley, and it's not far before you're out into Derbyshire."

Tucked away with a layout that's perfect for modern family life, this four-bedroom home offers space, flexibility, and a south-facing garden that's just waiting for long summer evenings — all wrapped up in a property that's ready for someone to make it their own.

Step through the porch and into the welcoming hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor and handy under-stairs storage keeps everyday clutter out of sight. To the left, the lounge is a generous space for relaxing or entertaining, with a charming bay window flooding the room with natural light and a chimneybreast offering the perfect spot for a cosy fireplace, should you wish to reinstate one. The lounge flows seamlessly into the dining room, a lovely sociable layout for family meals or hosting friends, with windows that look out over the rear garden, bringing the outside in. From here, the home offers brilliant flexibility: a fourth bedroom or study, ideal for those working from home or in need of a guest room, plus access through to the kitchen.

The kitchen itself is thoughtfully laid out, with worktop and storage space running along every wall. There's room for a cooker with built-in hob, a sink positioned beneath a window to the side of the property, and space for a washing machine and tall fridge/freezer, all the makings of a sociable kitchen for whoever puts their own stamp on it. A door leads straight out to the rear garden, perfect for indoor-outdoor living once the weather warms up.

Upstairs, bedroom one is a great-sized double at the front of the house, while bedroom two is a further double overlooking the rear garden, a peaceful spot to wake up to. Bedroom three offers further flexibility as a single bedroom or nursery, and the family bathroom currently features a large walk-in shower, WC, and washbasin.

Outside, the front garden is lawned with a path leading to the front door and onward to the garage, which sits to the side of the property (attached to the neighbouring garage) with off-street parking to the front. Side access leads through to the real highlight of this home, a south-facing rear garden. A patio sits directly behind the house, ideal for al fresco dining, with a step down to a lawned area bordered by flowerbeds, offering plenty of space to garden, play, or simply enjoy the sunshine.

In need of modernisation throughout, this home presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and add value, with a layout and plot that already offer everything a growing family could need. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scope and potential on offer.
