Description

This charming 1930s family home, which has remained in the same ownership for many years, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled in a desirable location that directly backs onto the serene Sowerby Flatts, the property benefits from a private setting while also being conveniently close to local amenities. As you enter, the welcoming hallway features original Parquet flooring, setting a tone of classic character throughout. The spacious living room is designed for natural light with windows on three sides and includes a coal-effect gas fireplace that enhances the cozy atmosphere. Adjacent to this is the dining room, which provides direct access to the garden through French doors—perfect for entertaining or enjoying summer days outdoors. The kitchen offers practical space with a range of wooden cabinets and essential appliances, although it provides ample scope for modern updates to fit current tastes. Two useful walk-in storage rooms add functionality to this area. A conveniently located cloakroom completes the ground floor layout. Upstairs hosts three generously proportioned double bedrooms, all retaining charm and offering potential for custom updates. The master bedroom stands out with multiple windows that fill the space with light and boasts built-in storage solutions. Each bedroom has unique characteristics that can be enhanced through thoughtful renovations. The bathroom is equipped with essential fixtures but could easily be transformed into a more contemporary space with upgrades. External features include well-maintained gardens enveloping the house, providing both privacy and aesthetic appeal. Mature hedging surrounds flower beds and lawns while offering potential for landscaping improvements or even expansion. A timber shed with electricity and insulation previously served as a home office; it remains a versatile asset that could be repurposed according to your needs. Additionally, off-street parking is available via a brick-set driveway, accommodating multiple vehicles. This property’s combination of original features and renovation potential makes it an appealing prospect for those looking to invest in creating their ideal home in a sought-after location. Accessed via a private road, it promises both tranquility and accessibility to nearby conveniences—truly a canvas ready for new ideas.
