The rear garden extends to approximately 100ft, providing a fantastic amount of outside space for children, entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the garden as it is. For buyers looking to put their own stamp on their next home, the size of the plot may also offer potential for further extension or remodelling, subject to the usual planning permissions and building regulations. To the front, a substantial driveway provides parking for several vehicles, complemented by a garage. The property is conveniently positioned for St Peter's School, local amenities and transport connections, making it particularly appealing to families and commuters. Selwood Road isn't simply about buying a four/five-bedroom house — it's about buying space, flexibility and potential. With substantial accommodation, a circa 100ft garden, generous parking and the opportunity to reimagine parts of the existing layout, this is a home that could evolve with its next owners for many years to come. Offered chain free, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale and possibilities this individual family home has to offer.
