Description

This substantial four-bedroom home presents a valuable opportunity for renovation, making it an ideal project for investors or those looking to create their dream residence. The property features bedrooms and bathrooms on both levels, providing functional living space that can be improved with modern touches. Located just a short stroll from the High Street and beach, it benefits from a sunny west-facing garden and includes a garage—perfect for additional storage or potential conversion. On the ground floor, you'll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous double. The existing downstairs shower room is equipped with essential fixtures but could benefit from an update. The kitchen offers a mix of eye-level and base units along with integrated appliances like a full-size dishwasher and gas hob, though this area could also use some refreshing. A spacious lounge diner features an open fireplace that serves as a central focal point and flows into the sunroom, creating versatile living options. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, including an expansive master suite. The first-floor bathroom comprises standard fittings that may require modernization to enhance functionality. Outside, the front garden offers privacy thanks to established boundaries, while the driveway allows for off-street parking. There is potential to create additional parking if desired. A side pathway gives access to the rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and benefits from ample sunlight due to its westward orientation—perfect for outdoor gatherings or landscaping opportunities. With council tax band C assigned, this property holds considerable investment potential in this desirable South East location.
