Beautiful 4 Bedroom Family Home

The school run. The endless laundry. The juggling act of modern parenting.

If your current home is starting to feel like a bad fit, Gratian Close might just be the answer.

This detached four-bedroom house in Highwoods isn’t just about space — it’s about ease. Every room, every layout decision feels like it was made with family life in mind.

Take the kitchen and dining room: Right next to each other, perfect for those evening meals or homework at the table while dinner’s on. Prefer open-plan living? With the layout here, it would be a straightforward change.

There’s also a separate utility room, which might sound minor — but it makes a huge difference. Boots, pe kits, laundry baskets? Out of sight, out of stress.

Add in two reception rooms, and you’ve got flexibility built-in. Home office, den, playroom, quiet adult lounge — take your pick.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, and wide doorways to make life that bit easier. Outside, the south-facing garden gives you a private, sunny escape, and there’s a garage and drive for all the gear that comes with kids.

The 'Outstanding' Gilberd School is just up the road. So are shops, green parks and fast commuter links into London.

It’s not just a house. It’s a better rhythm of life.
