About this property

A truly fabulous 5-bedroom detached family home, set on a generous half-acre plot in a peaceful and highly desirable area. While the property would benefit from some modernisation, it presents a fantastic opportunity to create a dream family home. With plenty of off-street parking and ample space, it’s ideal for family living. Local amenities are just moments away, including the popular Redfields. The property sits proudly on the historic grounds of The Gables, formerly known as Greyfriars. It’s believed to have been the home of the renowned writer Daphne du Maurier back in 1938! In the mid-1960s several plots were sold for development and this fantastic 5 bedroom detached house was constructed. Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years this practical yet versatile detached family home is approached via a sweeping driveway offers ample parking space for several vehicles leading to two separate garages. The front door opens into a welcoming inner porch, leading into a central reception hallway with stunning wooden parquet flooring. From here, doors open to all the main rooms, including a convenient downstairs W.C. The bright and airy kitchen, with its charming front aspect, has been beautifully refitted in recent years. It features sleek, modern units, an expansive worktop, and a stylish glass splashback. Plus, integrated appliances add a contemporary touch! There’s also a separate utility room, perfect for additional appliances, with a door leading to the outside. The double-aspect sitting room is the heart of the home, complete with a central modern gas fire and stone surround. It offers views over the garden, making it the perfect spot to relax. For more formal occasions, the separate dining room is ideal, offering open views across the garden, adding an extra touch of elegance. Upstairs, the first floor is equally impressive, with five generously sized bedrooms. The main bedroom boasts its own ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a stylishly refitted family bathroom. The first-floor landing also offers access to the loft, providing additional storage space. With the necessary consents, this space could even be converted into further living accommodation—endless potential
