Development of the Meadway estate took place following the death in 1922 of Russell Walker, the owner of the once prominent Southgate House.

By 1927, 34 houses were built and occupied in the Meadway estate – a prime, tree-lined road that attracted a mixture of families and wealthy couples.

Meadway, which is now a conservation area, is characterised by its ‘Tudorbethan’ style detached and semi-detached houses built of red brick with either pebbledash or cement render and half-timbered features and gables.

The rustic effect of the area was enhanced with front garden walls made from the linings of brick kilns and blast furnaces, according to estate agents Rash & Rash, who are selling the property.

The home’s separate downstairs bathroom features a bathtub with an aquamarine interior and wooden exterior, light blue tiling and an aquamarine sink

Director Matthew Turner, said the property had been bought by the great-grandfather of the man who was selling it.

He said: ‘Essentially, great-grandad bought it in 1926 and it’s been passed down through the family. The great-grandson lives in the area and remembers visiting the house as a child, it’s a very well-loved home.

‘The family has decided to sell, following the death of the current owner’s father. It would make a wonderful project for someone to restore and would also be fantastic for another small family, or people who would like to downsize to this area.

‘It’s really rare to find a house like this, with such a family history.’
