4 bed detached house for sale

Snape Drive, Bradford BD7

Most houses at this money need something doing to them. This one has already had every bit of it done — and almost none of what makes it good is visible from the road.

Number 14 sits on an end plot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Horton Bank, larger than anything else on the road. From the front it looks like a well-kept, comprehensively renovated house on-road parking only. New boiler, new electrics, triple glazing throughout, new wool carpets, and underfloor heating running the whole ground floor — every job you'd normally spend your first two years budgeting for has already been finished for you.

What you don't see from the street is round the back: A private driveway leading to a tandem garage, plus an additional, designated parking space, all reached from behind the house. What looks at first like a compromise turns out to be the opposite — this is where you actually live from, and it's how you really come into the house, through a tiled, triple-glazed rear utility porch with room for an American fridge freezer, a washer and dryer, and space for the coats and shoes to come off before anyone reaches the kitchen.

The porch opens straight into a modern fitted kitchen with a Belfast sink, a five-ring hob and a double oven, all sat over underfloor heating. From there a tiled reception hall runs through to a lounge of fourteen foot four by thirteen foot nine, also tiled, warm underfoot even in the depths of winter. French doors connect the lounge to the dining room, so the ground floor works as one open space when you want it to and two separate rooms when you don't. Bi-fold doors run the back of the dining room and fold away completely, flooding the room with light on a bright day.

To the side of the house — separate from the parking, separate from the rest of the plot — sits a generous lawned garden, the part of this plot that makes it genuinely unusual for the road.

Back inside, the ground floor holds a real piece of flexibility: A double bedroom at eleven foot eight by ten, a fitted wet room beside it, and a walk-in wardrobe that works equally well as a study or an occasional bedroom. Whether that's a relative moving in, a work-from-home office, or simply knowing you never have to move house again, it's the kind of space that sells a house on its own.

Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and the house bathroom. And then there's the one you don't expect: Bedroom two runs almost seventeen feet, with fitted wardrobes and a pair of Juliet doors that open onto a view over the garden and out across Bradford. It's the moment that changes how you feel about the whole house — swing those doors open from your own bedroom and that's the city laid out in front of you. The largest of the three bedrooms runs seventeen foot six by twelve foot four, and the last is a genuine double at ten foot seven by ten. The house bathroom is a modern three-piece suite, fully tiled, with underfloor heating.

Four bedrooms, two reception rooms, two bath and shower rooms, a garage, driveway and additional designated parking tucked round the back, and a view most houses on this hill would want. It comes with no onward chain, so there's nothing standing between you and moving in. Come and see it before somebody else does.
