Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Nestled on the desirable Birchwood Drive in Wilmington, the location is known for its proximity to well-regarded schools, making it an attractive spot for families and long-term investors alike. The property features a generous driveway that leads to a sizeable 240-foot garden, which offers ample space for extension or reimagining outdoor living areas, subject to planning permissions. The main floor comprises an open-plan kitchen and dining area, coupled with a welcoming reception room that includes a fireplace and bay window—a classic feature that could be further enhanced with modern updates. The addition of a conservatory creates extra living space and provides direct access to the expansive garden. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, each benefiting from natural light and the potential to be adapted into more versatile living spaces or additional rooms as needed. The family bathroom includes essential amenities but could greatly benefit from modernization. The highlight of this property is undoubtedly the spacious rear garden, which not only boasts mature landscaping but also contains double garages and several storage sheds. Notably, there is an existing swimming pool structure at the end of the garden that has not been in use for several years; however, our client indicates it could be easily reinstated, adding potential recreational value to the property. With chain-free status and situated within a community-oriented area, this residence allows buyers to put their personal touch on it while unlocking its full potential. The combination of location advantages and the scope for upgrades makes this property worth considering for any buyer looking for a project with enduring value.
