Description

Nestled in the desirable community of Arborfield Village, this spacious three-bedroom home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. While the property has seen notable improvements, it offers ample potential for further enhancements that could elevate both its functionality and value. The ground floor features a thoughtfully reconfigured kitchen breakfast room that welcomes natural light, thanks to its generous proportions. This space not only provides an area for culinary activities but also includes sufficient storage and room for modern appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sizeable living room, accentuated by a charming fireplace and double doors that lead out to a secluded rear garden, extending the living space outdoors. On the upper floor, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms—two doubles and a single—alongside a fitted family bathroom. The layout allows for easy customization to suit personal tastes or needs. The front of the property includes driveway parking with convenient access points to both the garage and garden. Positioned within reputable school catchment areas and benefiting from proximity to major transport links such as the M4 motorway, this home is ideally situated near local amenities. With potential for expansion or reconfiguration (subject to planning permissions), this property is likely to attract those looking to create their ideal family home or capitalize on investment opportunities in an area known for its growth potential.
