Description

Nestled on a spacious corner plot in Pemberton, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers an excellent canvas for those looking to renovate and personalize their living space. While the property is in need of modern updating, it showcases significant potential for enhancement or even extension, appealing to first-time buyers, families, and investors seeking value. The expansive rear garden presents ample opportunities for landscaping or the creation of outdoor entertaining areas. Inside, the home features a practical kitchen, a reception room ready for reimagining, and a family bathroom with a walk-in shower. Additionally, there are two external outbuildings adjacent to the house that could be repurposed as a home office, workshop, or utility space—subject to planning permissions—enhancing the overall functionality of the home. Positioned conveniently on Poplar Avenue, residents will have easy access to local shops, schools, and healthcare facilities including a chemist and health centre. The vibrant Pemberton centre is within walking distance, along with shopping destinations at DW Stadium and Robin Park. Families will enjoy nearby children's parks while benefiting from excellent transport links via public transit and proximity to motorway networks. This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home ripe with potential in a desirable and well-connected neighbourhood.
