Description

This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian house offers a solid foundation for potential renovation and investment. Though it requires some modern updates, the property presents a unique opportunity to enhance its character and functionality in a sought-after location. The layout begins with an inviting entrance hall leading to a generously sized lounge featuring a bay window that floods the room with natural light. Adjacent to the lounge, the dining room provides a welcoming space for family gatherings and transitions smoothly into a sizable kitchen at the rear of the house. A side porch adds versatility and could easily be transformed into a utility area to maximize usability on the ground floor. Upstairs, the landing connects three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each offering ample space and storage options, including built-in corner wardrobes in two of the rooms. The family bathroom is spacious enough to accommodate both relaxation and practicality, featuring essential fixtures such as a bath with an electric shower, vanity wash basin, and WC. The exterior includes an enclosed front garden primarily laid to block paving which facilitates off-road parking. The rear garden benefits from a westerly aspect, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. It features various low-maintenance paved areas amidst thoughtfully planted mature trees and shrubs, contributing to its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, there is potential for improved access via an adjacent service lane from Princes Close under existing local authority permissions—a point worth considering for any future development plans. Situated within close proximity to Freshwater village amenities, this property is conveniently located approximately half a mile from Colwell Bay's sandy beach. The surrounding area boasts numerous walking paths with stunning coastal views and easy access to ferry services connecting to mainland travel options. With its blend of charm and renovation potential, this property serves as an excellent investment opportunity in an attractive location offering both lifestyle benefits and accessibility.
