Description

This semi-detached property, in the same family since 1956, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With a generous 75-foot south-east facing garden, this home is offered for sale with no onward chain, allowing for a smooth transaction. Upon entering, you’re welcomed by a porch that leads into a spacious hallway equipped with practical understairs storage, one of which has been creatively utilized as a pantry. The ground floor features a front lounge with an open fireplace and a versatile sitting room at the rear that could serve as a formal dining area. This space benefits from direct access to the garden through patio doors, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is functional and includes maple cabinetry paired with contrasting laminate countertops. It also offers views of the garden and features a side door for easy access.

The third bedroom is compact but can easily serve as a nursery or home office space. The family bathroom is partially tiled, providing a solid foundation for further updates. This property holds great potential for extension (subject to planning consents), making it ideal for those looking to increase their living space or add value. There’s off-street parking available for one vehicle at the front, along with additional grassed areas that could accommodate more cars comfortably. The secluded rear garden is another highlight; it can be accessed via a side gate and includes two storage sheds and a greenhouse, adding to its practicality for gardening enthusiasts or those seeking extra storage solutions. With its prime location and ample scope for modernization, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity in today's market.
