5 bedroom detached house for sale

Located in the highly sought-after Minerva Heights on the west side of this cathedral city, this particularly spacious and beautifully presented five-bedroom detached townhouse offers ample off-street parking, a double garage, and a south-facing garden.


Arranged over three floors, this double-fronted detached modern home offers well-presented and generously proportioned accommodation, ideally suited in our opinion to family living or as a potential rental investment.

Upon entering, a wide entrance hall provides access to the principal living spaces. To the right, running the full depth of the property, is an impressive 28' open-plan kitchen/dining room. The kitchen features a large range of wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a central breakfast bar. Bi-fold doors at the far end open directly onto the south-facing garden, creating a bright and sociable space. On the opposite side of the hall, the main reception room enjoys direct garden access via a set of double doors. Completing the ground floor are a utility room, a cloakroom, and to the front - overlooking the driveway - a versatile study/home office.

A light-filled landing on the first floor leads to three of the five bedrooms, including the forward-facing principal bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room. A family bathroom serves bedrooms two and three. A further staircase rises to the second floor, which hosts two additional double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, and a further shower room.

To the rear lies a delightful south-facing garden, mainly laid to lawn with well-tended borders, a generous patio ideal for al fresco dining, and a pathway leading to the garage and side access to the parking area.

A particular highlight is the excellent off-street parking (for at least four vehicles) and a detached double garage with loft storage above. An EV charging point is fitted to the main house.

The property benefits from the remaining term of its NHBC Guarantee.
