Description Goodacres are delighted to offer for sale this rarely available four-bedroom detached family home, situated on the sought-after Whitworth Way within the popular village of Wilstead.
Occupying a particularly generous plot and offering exciting scope for modernisation and extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions, this property represents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create a long-term family home tailored to their own requirements.
The ground-floor accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall and a convenient cloakroom/WC.
The kitchen is positioned at the front of the property and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, providing access through to the remainder of the accommodation.
The large lounge offers excellent space for the whole family and features a fireplace together with patio doors opening onto the rear garden.
An attractive archway connects the lounge to the separate dining room, which provides ample space for a family dining table and benefits from its own patio doors leading outside.
Together, these rooms create a bright and sociable layout with wonderful views across the garden.
Upstairs, the property provides four bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation for families, guests or those requiring a home office. A family bathroom completes the first-floor layout.
The outstanding feature of the home is undoubtedly its beautiful rear garden.
Generous in size, wonderfully private and well established, it is mainly laid to lawn with an impressive variety of mature trees, shrubs and planting.
The garden offers a peaceful setting for relaxing and entertaining while also highlighting the considerable potential available to extend the existing accommodation, subject to planning permission.
To the front, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking, an established front garden and access to a single garage.
Requiring some updating, this spacious detached home provides buyers with a rare opportunity to add value and create something truly special on one of Wilstead's established residential roads.
