The property's pleasant outlook towards green areas and mature trees gives the garden an appealing sense of space and tranquillity. To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking, while the property's position towards the end of the cul-de-sac offers a particularly peaceful setting with limited passing traffic. The location is a further significant attraction. This is a highly sought-after residential setting, ideally positioned for access to local amenities, transport links and well-regarded schooling. The property is within the catchment areas for Halterworth and Mountbatten Schools, making it an especially appealing choice for families.

AGENT NOTE: The property is recorded as having been affected by flooding within the last five years. It is important to clarify, however, that the house itself did not flood. The issue arose from a natural spring located on Local Authority-owned land adjoining the property, which, during periods of increased water flow, resulted in water running down the land to the side of the property and across the area in front of the house. Following an insurance claim and subsequent investigation, works were undertaken at the property, including the installation of a concrete raft beneath the house. This work was completed through the property's insurance arrangements and provides additional protection to the structure. In addition, the Local Authority has undertaken substantial drainage and water-management works on the land it owns adjacent to the property. This included the installation of a dedicated drain designed to intercept and divert water arising from the natural spring. The drainage system directs the water away from the property, across the council-owned land and onward towards Tadburn Waters. The drainage installation is monitored by the Local Authority on a quarterly basis, providing an ongoing means of checking the system and its operation. Importantly, insurance for the property has not been refused, and the cost of cover falls within normal pricing parameters. This should provide prospective purchasers with additional reassurance regarding the property's insurability, although individual premiums and terms will remain subject to each insurer's assessment. Consequently, prospective purchasers should be aware of the property's historical record, but equally should be reassured that the house itself was not flooded and that significant works have subsequently been undertaken both at the property and by the Local Authority to manage and divert the source of the water. We would, of course, recommend that prospective purchasers make their own enquiries with their insurer, surveyor and the Local Authority as part of the usual conveyancing and due-diligence process.
