Set on a substantial and secluded 1,295sqm rear section, this sun-soaked four-bedroom home offers a truly special environment-your own piece of Hagley Park 10 minutes from the city centre.
Originally built in the 1950s and thoughtfully extended and reconfigured over time, the home now delivers a seamless blend of character, comfort, and modern family living.
At its heart, a light-filled L-shaped living hub brings together the kitchen, dining, family area, and adjoining lounge. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, this space opens effortlessly through two sets of patio doors to a private terraced outdoor area-ideal for alfresco dining and summer gatherings. Step down to the expansive lawn where there's ample space for backyard cricket and family fun, while a sunny window seat provides a cosy retreat in the cooler months.
The bespoke kitchen is a standout feature, bathed in natural light from a Velux skylight and deep window, with a stylish tiled upstand. Classic shaker-style cabinetry and polished floorboards pay homage to the home's heritage while delivering modern functionality.
Flexibility is key, with the adjoining lounge able to be opened up or closed off via a cavity slider-perfect for creating separate living zones when desired. Comfort is assured year-round with double glazing, a floor-mounted heat pump in the family area, a wood burner in the lounge, and a second heat pump in the hallway for whole-home warmth.
Outside, the grounds are simply exceptional. Established trees, easy-care landscaping, fruit trees, flowering plants and raised planter boxes create a peaceful and private sanctuary. A picturesque driveway lined with flowering cherry trees and underplanted with hydrangeas leads to a generous parking area and double garage, offering ample space for vehicles, a trailer, boat, or caravan, along with room for guests and easy turning.
Positioned for lifestyle and convenience, the home is zoned for sought-after schools and is within easy reach of local amenities, transport links, and shopping hubs.
Comfortable to enjoy as is, yet offering exciting potential to further enhance, this is a rare opportunity to secure a large, established section in a tightly held, city-fringe location. A property to treasure-private, spacious, and full of possibility!
