Description

This semi-detached family home, built in the 1950s, offers an appealing blend of classic charm and untapped renovation potential. Spanning three floors, the property features four bedrooms and a spacious rear garden that invites creativity for future improvements. The driveway provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles, along with a garage for additional storage or workshop needs. Upon entering, you will find an entrance hall that leads to a cloakroom/WC and the main living areas. The bay-fronted sitting room boasts a cozy atmosphere with connections available for a gas or electric fire, while the separate dining room offers warmth from its own gas fire and opens directly into the garden. The kitchen is equipped with a range of units and houses a wall-mounted 'Glow Worm' gas boiler, with convenient access to the outdoor space. The first floor comprises three well-sized bedrooms, each featuring built-in cupboards for efficient storage. A family bathroom equipped with an enclosed bath and wash basin provides essential amenities, alongside a separate cloakroom/WC. The top floor hosts an additional double bedroom complete with built-in wardrobes and eave storage, making it ideal for privacy or as a guest suite. With gas-fired central heating powering radiators throughout and double-glazed windows enhancing energy efficiency, this home already has essential components in place while offering excellent potential for extension or modernization (subject to planning permission). The outdoor space includes a generously sized front design featuring L-shaped block paving leading to the private driveway. The southeast-facing rear garden benefits from plenty of sunlight and measures approximately 118 feet by 29 feet. It consists of both patio areas and lawn sections adorned with mature plants, flowers, and shrubs—ideal for outdoor gatherings or personal landscaping projects. Located in a highly desirable area known for its community amenities and accessibility, this property represents not just a home but also a valuable investment opportunity where personal touches can transform it into your ideal living space.
