Description

This 1930s corner plot property is located in a sought-after residential area and offers considerable renovation potential for buyers looking to add value. Enclosed gardens wrap around the front, side, and rear of the home, providing opportunity for outdoor enhancements or off-road parking with the necessary permissions and kerb adjustments. The layout includes a welcoming hallway leading to two bright reception rooms, both featuring bay windows that invite ample natural light. Each room also boasts charming fireplaces, which could be restored for added character. The kitchen area is adjacent to the dining space, featuring fitted cabinets and connections ready for essential appliances. A side porch adds utility but may require updating to improve functionality and style. Upstairs, the landing provides access to three bedrooms—two of which are doubles—and a bathroom equipped with modern fixtures alongside a cast-iron style bath. With gas central heating currently in place and partial double glazing, this home offers a solid foundation for modernization. The detached garage at the rear adds further value and potential. The property benefits from no upper chain, making it an appealing project for those willing to invest in updates that could lead to significant returns.
