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.
