Description

Nestled along the picturesque and tree-lined Breakspear Avenue, this semi-detached home, built in the 1930s, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With its classic bay-fronted design, the property offers bright and spacious rooms that are well-suited for modernization. Ideal for those looking to create a personalized living space or capitalize on the potential to extend both at the rear and into the loft (subject to planning permission), this residence is devoid of any onward chain, making it a straightforward option for buyers eager to settle in. Upon entering through a distinctive part stained-glass front door, you're greeted by a generous entrance hall that sets the tone for what lies beyond. The inviting lounge features a bay window that floods the area with natural light, creating a comfortable space perfect for relaxation. Adjacent to the lounge is a separate dining room that opens into a practical lean-to, offering flexible usage options and direct access to the rear garden. The kitchen includes an array of wall and base units with both integrated and freestanding appliances, leading to an inner lobby complete with two storage cupboards—ideal for minimizing clutter. On the first floor, you'll find two spacious double bedrooms alongside a well-sized third bedroom and a family bathroom equipped with essential amenities. Each room offers ample natural light and presents opportunities for cosmetic updates. The exterior of the property complements its potential; a block-paved driveway accommodates off-street parking for two vehicles while providing easy access to the front door. A side gate opens up to a rear garden primarily laid to lawn, surrounded by mature shrubs and flower beds—creating a private sanctuary ideal for outdoor activities or further landscaping. Conveniently located just minutes from the mainline train station offering quick links to central London, this property is also within walking distance of vibrant local shops, reputable schools, and lovely green spaces such as Clarence Park. This combination of location benefits and renovation potential makes this home not only an appealing living space but also an attractive investment opportunity in a sought-after area.
