Seller Insight
When we first saw this house, it was clear it needed complete renovation—but the potential was undeniable. The location was right, the structure was solid, and we could see exactly what it could become.
One of the biggest selling points is the south-facing garden. Back then, it was so overgrown we couldn’t even see its full size! Now that it’s cleared and landscaped, it’s genuinely impressive—large gardens like this are increasingly rare. We added a 4-metre deck, yet there is still an incredible outdoor space beyond that, perfect for children, entertaining, or simply enjoying the sun.
We’ve extended the house to create a stunning open-plan space at the back—what we think of as the ‘signature room.’ It’s the kind of space families really enjoy today: bright, practical, sociable and very much the heart of the home.
The Crescent is quiet, there’s off-road parking, and the neighbours have been wonderfully supportive throughout the renovation. They were pleased to see the house restored and have made us feel very welcome.
With a well-built house like this, you have peace of mind, as well as scope for the future. There’s even potential to convert the loft because of the generous roof space, should someone wish to expand further one day.
Because we have our own families, we renovated this home with family living in mind—spaces that flow, places to gather, room to grow, and amenities close by. We know how sought-after this area is, and genuinely believe this house is a home someone
will love living in, just as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
Renovated to a high standard by respected local builder MAS Home Improvements, this property feels like new and is ready to move straight into, with nothing left to do.
A welcoming hallway offers a clear line of sight through to the garden, filling the space with natural light.
At the rear, the impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining room overlooks the garden and provides a superb setting for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen includes a fitted oven and hob, with further space for appliances. A stylish island provides both a sociable seating area and an ideal workspace, alongside room for a dining table. The living area offers ample space for sofas, chairs and a TV—an inviting and peaceful space that will undoubtedly become the heart of the home.
To the front, the bright and generously sized sitting room offers a valuable second reception area, perfect for family living.
FIRST FLOOR
The main bedroom is a spacious double overlooking the garden, comfortably accommodating a super-king bed, wardrobes and drawers.
Bedroom two is another good-sized double with a front aspect, while bedroom three is a single room—ideal as a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office.
The bathroom is fresh and modern, fitted with a ‘P-shaped’ bath and overhead shower.
GARDEN & DRIVEWAY
The impressive 70-ft south facing garden, a real sun trap with a large decked area directly accessed from the kitchen, offering an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead down to a newly turfed lawn—one of the many advantages of this solidly built older home is the generous garden size.
The front of the property provides hard-standing with space to park a car.
