Description

This distinctive three-bedroom period home, situated just a stone's throw from Russell Park, presents an enticing investment opportunity with considerable renovation potential. The property features a separate office/studio on the first floor, accessible via an external staircase, which could be seamlessly integrated into the existing layout to create additional living space or a fourth bedroom. A large, single-storey detached outbuilding, equipped with power and lighting along with a cloakroom, offers versatile options for conversion or use as a workspace, subject to necessary approvals. The secure courtyard behind double gates allows for off-road parking and easy access to the outbuilding. The main residence includes separate sitting and dining areas alongside a functional kitchen and ground-floor bathroom. Although well-maintained by the current owners over the years, there is ample scope for modernization or reconfiguration to enhance its appeal. Located in the desirable 'Castle Quarter,' renowned for its independent cafés and proximity to beautiful outdoor spaces like Russell Park and the Embankment, this property provides an exceptional canvas for personalization while being offered chain-free.
