Garden Close, Rough Common

Guide price £450,000 - £475,000.

A superb three-bedroom detached family home with a garage and driveway enjoying a nice corner plot in the highly desirable area of Rough Common. Offering bright and well-proportioned accommodation, this wonderful home offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking space, potential and a superb lifestyle setting all with the added benefit of no onward chain.

From the outset, the property has a welcoming feel. The mature front garden softens the approach, while the driveway provides off-road parking and leads to an attached garage. The position of the plot gives the house a sense of openness, something that continues once inside.

The ground floor is particularly light and airy, with a spacious entrance hall setting the tone. The main living room is a comfortable yet generous space, enhanced by a large bay window and an open aspect through to the dining room, creating a natural flow that works well for both everyday living and entertaining. From here, doors open directly onto the rear garden, drawing in plenty of natural light and connecting the indoors with the outside.

The kitchen sits separately to the rear, adjacent to the dining room perfect for those who prefer a more traditional layout, while also offering excellent scope for reconfiguration if desired. As with many homes of this style, there is clear potential to extend or open up the space (subject to building regs) and it's worth noting that neighbouring properties have successfully converted the garage to create additional living accommodation. The kitchen is good-size and has a range of base units, an integrated oven and space for your usual kitchen appliances. There is a door providing direct access out to the garden.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all enjoying good natural light. There is a family bathroom, which features a bath with a shower over and a separate WC completes the first floor.

Outside, you will find a private and well-established rear garden which is filled with mature planting, offering a peaceful retreat with plenty of space for children to play or for keen gardeners to enjoy. The garden opens up into a wider lawned area to the rear, and you have gated side access as well as rear access into the garage, adding practicality.
