Description

Nestled in the charming Arborfield Village, this spacious three-bedroom family home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The property has seen considerable updates by the current owners, yet it still offers significant potential for further enhancements to suit your personal taste. The ground floor features a thoughtfully re-designed kitchen breakfast room, which boasts ample natural light and provides a functional space complete with a variety of storage options and room for essential appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous living room that highlights a classic fireplace and opens through double doors to a secluded rear garden, blending indoor comfort with outdoor relaxation. Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms—two doubles and one single—alongside a family bathroom. This layout is ideal for families or could be transformed into additional living space with creative renovations. Outside, the front of the property offers driveway parking and direct access to the rear garden and garage, as well as an expanse of land that could be developed further (subject to appropriate planning permissions). The location enhances this home's appeal, falling within desirable school catchment areas and providing convenient access to major transport links such as the M4 motorway. With local amenities just a short distance away, this property holds promise for prospective buyers looking to create their ideal home or capitalize on its investment potential.
