Chester Road, Sandiway

Set in a fabulous plot of 0.34 acre, ideally located in a non-estate location and offering a good home from day one together with extensive additional potential, a substantial home of 2362 square feet

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

In a game of cricket, when a batsman reaches 50, there is applause all round. When it comes to a house, living in it for fifty years surely deserves a full-on standing ovation and a place in the hall of fame!

That is the key story here, with the present owner now looking to downsize and move in with family having lived in this house for half a century. In that time, it has been a home that has provided great joy to the family as a whole, with a splendid plot of over a third of an acre and a very substantial house that boasts four bedrooms, four reception rooms, a double garage and store, the whole extending to just a little under 2400 square feet. It is a light and bright house with large windows.

The combination of non-estate location, large all-round plot and such a light bright home instantly impresses. Many interested parties may enjoy the process of modernising the house room by room and putting their own ideal and personalities into the present layout. Others with a more radical approach may look, subject to planning consents to extend the house and apply a contemporary look and feel both inside and out. There really is a whole host of opportunity here.

I also love the warm and inviting atmosphere this house offers, it has a great feel from the moment you pull up the driveway and walk through the front door. The gardens are mature, colourful, and established with large expanses of lawn and a long driveway to the front.

This is a home with fantastic long-term potential but do note that if you stay for another fifty years, I will be ninety, so retired when you come to sell it!
