Property description
This charming 1930s detached home has been loved by the same family for 26 years and offers space, character, and a warm, welcoming feel throughout. With five bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, and a west-facing garden, it’s ideal for growing families. Located near top local schools, it’s a rare opportunity in a friendly, well-established neighbourhood.
1 Chelwood Drive - Located in a sought-after area with excellent access to top-performing local schools, this delightful 1930s five-bedroom detached property offers the perfect blend of period charm, modern functionality, and incredible scope to add value.
Set on a generous plot with landscaped gardens front and back, this much-loved family home is the only detached house on Chelwood Drive, enjoying a quiet position with no residential property behind – instead backing onto protected land that cannot be built on.
Step through the front door into a light-filled, open hallway that sets a warm and inviting tone throughout. This space includes a handy cloak cupboard and under stairs toilet and wash basin.
The spacious front-facing living room features a stunning marble gas fireplace, ideal for cosy evenings. Also off the hallway is a larger second, versatile reception room. Bathed in natural light from patio doors, this sunroom provides a calming space with direct access to the private west-facing garden.
The generous kitchen-diner is perfect for family meals and entertaining, complete with laminate worktops, integrated Whirlpool dishwasher, integrated Hotpoint fridge, and a brand-new Hotpoint double oven. A large utility/laundry room offers additional convenience, and with some reconfiguration, this space could be extended further into the sunroom to create a spectacular open-plan kitchen-diner.
Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms with built-in storage, along with a fourth bedroom currently used as a home office. Also on this floor, you'll find the stylish house bathroom with a walk-in power shower and sleek bath.
The converted second floor hosts the spacious fifth bedroom with handcrafted shelves, cupboards and a large wardrobe, along with ample eaves storage. This is ideal as a master suite, guest room, teenager’s retreat – or could easily be adapted to add a second/third bathroom.
Externally, the home benefits from a landscaped front and rear garden, a private driveway, and an integral garage with electricity – perfect for storage, workshop use, or even conversion into an additional living space.
