You’ll Never Hear "Are We There Yet?" On The Way To The Park Again. Morton Park is just round the corner, with a parkrun every Saturday if you’re feeling fit. A blank canvas, family-friendly semi with a sociable ground floor and a bonus top floor loft room. Property ref: KD0516

No car seats to wrestle with, no arguments about whose turn it is for the front seat - just shoes on and out the door. Two minutes down this popular, family-friendly street and you're through the Morton Park gates, whether that's for Saturday morning parkrun or an after-school kickabout before tea.

Inside, the ground floor is built for a busy family who like being under one roof but not necessarily all in the same room, all at once. The lounge at the front is a proper spot to shut the door and put your feet up, while the kitchen diner at the back has been opened up and leads straight into a sun room - so breakfast, homework and Sunday roasts can all happen in the same easy, sociable space. 

There's a separate utility and downstairs WC too, which anyone with muddy football boots or a wet dog fresh from the park will appreciate.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom that's had a proper glow up - it's tiled floor to ceiling in a soft stone finish, with a sleek white suite and a heated towel rail, and it's easily the most stylish room in the house. 

Bedroom one and two are both good doubles, with a third that works well as a kids' room, nursery or home office.

Then there's the bonus loft room that might cause a family argument. A spiral staircase off the first floor landing leads up to a loft room currently painted head to toe in bright pink, with its own WC tucked alongside. 

It can’t be classed as a fourth bedroom, but as a teenager's den, a playroom, artists studio or a proper home office away from all the noise downstairs, it's hard to beat.

Outside, the garden is south-facing, mature and neatly kept - around 20m of lawn with a decking seating area by the back door for morning coffee. 

This is very much a house for a family who want to make it their own over time rather than move into someone else's final and finished version. It’s substantial and well-built - with the chance to put your own stamp on the place.

As this is a family home, it’s good to know the Newthlaites Infants & Junior Schools are both rated “Good” by Ofsted. And they’re both less than 10 minutes walk away (on the same site).

Older kids have a little further to travel to the Richard Rose Morton Academy but it’s still less than a 20 minute walk or a short bike ride away.

If you need to head into town for work, to hit the shops or catch up with friends it’s only a 5 minute drive or if you want to get your steps in it’s a 30 minute walk.

If your priority is bagging a family home with genuine space to grow into, a garden that gets the sun, and a park two minutes from the front door, this one earns a proper look.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
