Description

This Edwardian semi-detached home presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with character and significant renovation potential. Featuring three generously sized bedrooms, the layout includes an open-plan sitting and dining area that can be adapted to suit a modern family's needs.

The ground floor encompasses a spacious reception area that connects the cozy sitting room with a sizable dining space, perfect for both entertaining guests and everyday family living. At the rear, the kitchen provides access to a well-sized bathroom, which could benefit from modernization or even reconfiguration to optimize space. On the upper level, there are three bedrooms: a bright main bedroom alongside two additional rooms that can accommodate children, guests, or serve as a home office. Each room offers potential for customization based on personal taste and needs. Outside, the property features a private rear garden and off-street parking—a valuable benefit in this sought-after area. With no onward chain, the purchasing process is simplified. Additionally, there is potential to extend the property (subject to planning permission), allowing for further enhancement of this charming period home while increasing its value in the long term. This property is an excellent canvas for buyers ready to create their ideal living space in a well-connected neighborhood.
