A Striking 1930’s Detached Home with Tennis Court & Generous Grounds

This impressive four-bedroom detached home is bursting with character and curb appeal, set on an enviable plot of approximately two-thirds of an acre. With its elegant 1930’s design, arched feature windows, and beautiful frontage with an in-and-out driveway, this property truly makes a statement.

The exterior offers vast off-road parking, a large garage, and a separate workshop with its own front door—ideal as a home office, studio, or annexe conversion. An enclosed tennis court is another rare feature, offering exciting potential to restore or repurpose. The mature gardens are a delight, featuring established planting, a summer house with power, a pond, patio areas, and useful sheds/storage.

Inside, the home continues to impress with a welcoming entrance porch and hall, a ground-floor cloakroom, a spacious lounge, and a separate dining room. Both reception rooms boast charming open fireplaces: the lounge features a cast iron fireplace framed by a marble-effect surround and mantel, enhanced by two elegant arched doors that open directly onto the patio. The dining room is equally striking, with three arched windows and a rear door—a statement feature that floods the space with natural light. Here too, a cast iron open fireplace with surround adds warmth and character.

The kitchen has been recently modernised and finished to a high standard. It is fitted with an extensive range of Neff integrated appliances, including a hob with glass splashback and chrome chimney hood, a double oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer. The shaker-style bespoke units are complemented by chrome cup and knob handles, under-cupboard lighting, plinth heaters, and a modern vertical radiator. A one-and-a-half bowl ceramic sink with chrome mixer tap sits alongside practical larder storage units, creating a stylish and well-planned space at the heart of the home.

From the rear lobby, there is convenient access to both the garage and workshop, together with a characterful arched door leading outside.

Upstairs, the landing is enhanced by a stunning arched feature window, filling the space with natural light. The master bedroom benefits from a comprehensive range of built-in wardrobes, drawers, and a dressing table. Two of the additional bedrooms also feature built-in wardrobes and storage, ensuring excellent practicality throughout. In total, there are four generously sized bedrooms, including one with an en suite fitted with a shower cubicle, chrome towel radiator, and a low-level WC with sink/vanity unit providing useful storage. The family bathroom offers a four-piece suite comprising a low-level WC, bidet, wash hand basin, and bath with shower over.

This 1930’s home is as versatile as it is charming, offering excellent scope for further extension and improvements. Properties of this calibre—especially with generous grounds and a rare tennis court—are seldom available. There is no onward chain, and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, scale, and potential of this exceptional home.
