Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a well-regarded residential neighborhood, marking its first appearance on the market after many years of ownership. While the home has been cared for by its original owners, it is now primed for modernization, offering a canvas for customization and the potential to expand (subject to planning permission). Entering through a double-glazed door, you arrive in a spacious entrance porch that provides an ideal space for storing coats and shoes. From here, a further door leads into an inner hall featuring a staircase that ascends to the upper level. The generously proportioned sitting room, filled with natural light from a large double-glazed picture window at the front, includes an understairs cupboard. A centrally positioned gas coal effect fire adds warmth and character, with traditional features including a tiled inset and wooden mantel completing the space. An archway connects this room to the dining area, which opens onto the conservatory via a double-glazed door and window. The kitchen is fitted with practical base and wall units that incorporate ample work surfaces. It accommodates essential appliances such as an electric cooker and fridge/freezer, along with plumbing provisions for a washing machine. The conservatory boasts laminate flooring and access to both the rear garden and driveway; additionally, it includes a downstairs cloakroom featuring a Saniflo system that may require attention. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms: two spacious doubles and one single that offers versatility for use as an office or guest room. The master bedroom features built-in mirrored wardrobes while bedroom two contains an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank. A family bathroom completes this level, fitted with essential amenities including a low-level WC and panel-enclosed bath equipped with shower facilities.
