Accommodation - Please refer to the floorplan for detailed room measurements and the full property layout.
Ground Floor - The property is accessed via a brick-built block paved driveway, with enclosed double glazed porch, leading to an original 1930’s front door and a generous hallway with original stripped flooring. The substantial bright and airy hallway takes you to the main living spaces: the sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, separate WC. The living spaces are ample and enjoy the sunshine from early morning to late evening. The spacious sitting room to the front enjoys dual aspects windows, period features and gas fire with catalytic converter. The second reception room with patio doors overlooking the rear sunny garden and windows to the side works perfectly as a formal dining room/ playroom/ reception room for children or could be knocked through to the kitchen (subject to the necessary consents).
The dual aspect kitchen was refitted in 2007, with space for breakfast table overlooking the garden housing significant storage with a range of wall and base units, recently serviced Worcester combi boiler, electric Neff hob, two eye-level ovens, new Neff integrated dishwasher, new integrated microwave, new integrated washing machine and space for fridge freezer. Side door giving access to the driveway.
The property also benefits from an additional ground floor separate WC with obscured window to the side.
First Floor - To the first floor, the landing gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, alongside a stylish family bathroom refitted in 2020 with underfloor heating.
The fully boarded loft with light, power, drop-down ladder and excellent head height presents exciting scope for conversion (subject to the necessary consents) into a fifth bedroom suite with dressing area and ensuite, a layout successfully adopted by neighbouring homes.
Gardens And Grounds - A highlight of the property is the level south-facing rear garden, a genuine sun trap enjoying sunshine throughout the day with patio areas located for both sunrise and sunset. Backing directly onto Elmlea Infant School and Elmlea Junior School, the garden offers a family-friendly environment. The mature garden features apple and plum trees and a productive grapevine.
Garage / Driveway - The property benefits from a detached garage at the rear with double glazed window and power, housing the tumble dryer. Driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Many neighbouring properties on this side of the road have enhanced their plots by replacing the rear garage with extended garden space and constructing utility room, home office, gym and part-garage conversions along the driveway.
As a fully detached home, 53 The Dell retains valuable side access on the opposite side of the house, independent of the driveway, offering flexibility for future development (subject to consents).
A Rare Opportunity - Detached 1930s homes in this position with south-facing gardens, outstanding school adjacency and clear scope to expand seldom become available. 53 The Dell offers a wonderful balance of character, practicality and future potential, ready for its next chapter.
Viewing highly recommended.
