Description

This semi-detached property, held by the same family since 1956, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. While it requires modernisation, the home retains many original features that offer potential for restoration or reconfiguration to suit contemporary living. The layout begins with a welcoming porch leading into a spacious hallway that provides access to both the front lounge and a second sitting room at the rear. The front lounge, characterized by its open fireplace, exudes charm and warmth. Meanwhile, the sitting room can function as either a formal dining area or an additional living space, featuring doors that open directly to the garden. The kitchen is equipped with maple units and showcases views of the rear garden through its window, along with side access via a courtesy door. On the upper floor, you will find three bedrooms. The front bedroom boasts an original cast iron fireplace and bay window, while another bedroom at the back also features a similar fireplace and overlooks the garden. The third bedroom serves well as an office or nursery due to its compact size. The family bathroom is functional but could benefit from updating. On an external level, this property offers parking for one vehicle at the front, with additional grassy space that has potential for expanding parking capacity up to three cars. The south-east facing garden measures approximately 75 feet in depth and offers seclusion—a rare find in residential properties. It includes two storage sheds and a greenhouse, useful for gardening enthusiasts or additional storage needs. Given its dimensions and positioning, there is also considerable scope for extension (subject to planning permissions), making this property not just a place to live but also an attractive investment opportunity in an improving area.
