Description

This four-bedroom detached home presents a prime opportunity for renovation and investment. Located in close proximity to the town centre of Sawbridgeworth, it benefits from excellent access to local amenities, including a variety of shops, schools, and eateries as well as convenient public transportation links, with a mainline train station just a short walk away. The property features a spacious layout comprising a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom, four bedrooms, and a bathroom. While it requires substantial renovation to bring it up to modern living standards, the layout provides significant potential for reconfiguration or extension (subject to planning permissions). The outdoor space includes an approximately 30ft west-facing garden—a valuable asset for recreation or outdoor improvements—alongside a single garage and driveway at the front. This property is offered with no onward chain, making it an appealing prospect for buyers looking to invest in an area with strong growth potential.
