To the front, a substantial driveway provides parking for several vehicles, complemented by a garage.

The property is conveniently positioned for St Peter's School, local amenities and transport connections, making it particularly appealing to families and commuters.

Selwood Road isn't simply about buying a four/five-bedroom house — it's about buying space, flexibility and potential. With substantial accommodation, a circa 100ft garden, generous parking and the opportunity to reimagine parts of the existing layout, this is a home that could evolve with its next owners for many years to come.
