Property Overview

Built in 1933 and held within the same family since September 1963, 193 Bowerham Road has a real sense of continuity and history behind it. Detached homes are comparatively unusual along this part of Bowerham Road, and this one makes the most of that distinction. Set within a generous wraparound plot, it offers three bedrooms, two reception rooms, an attached garage and substantial gardens — all combining to create the foundations of a really good family home with plenty of scope for someone to bring fresh ideas and personality.

The ground floor begins with a broad entrance hallway leading into a bay-fronted living room, where the curved window brings in plenty of natural light and gives the room an inviting sense of width. To the rear, a separate dining room offers another generous living space, well suited to family meals, entertaining or simply creating a second place to unwind. The kitchen sits alongside, keeping the layout practical while also offering obvious potential for future updating or reworking.

Upstairs, there are two comfortable double bedrooms alongside a good-size third bedroom that could work equally well as a nursery, home office or guest room. The family bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower, giving the kind of day-to-day practicality that works well for busy households.

Outside is where the house really starts to separate itself from many nearby homes. The plot wraps around the property, with a south-westerly aspect to the front and a largely north-easterly rear garden. Mature planting, lawn and established greenery create a surprisingly private feel, with plenty of room for children, outdoor seating, gardening or future landscaping. The attached garage, added in the mid-1960s, adds useful parking, storage and further versatility.

The house is being sold with vacant possession and no upward chain, making the move that bit more straightforward. A full Home Insights survey is also available for interested buyers to review, giving prospective purchasers useful additional information before making a decision.
