Description

This three-bedroom home is nestled in the sought-after Faircross Estate, offering a prime location just a short stroll from local shops and the train station. The property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment, with expansive living spaces that can be reimagined to suit modern lifestyles. Upon entering, you'll find a welcoming entrance hall leading to two well-proportioned reception areas. The lounge features a classic double-glazed bay window that allows ample natural light, while the adjacent dining room opens directly onto the rear garden through sliding doors, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The separate kitchen is equipped with essential appliances and offers potential for updates or expansion. The bedrooms are generously sized; the primary bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and overlooks the front garden. The second and third bedrooms offer flexibility for family use or could serve as dedicated work-from-home spaces. A practical bathroom completes the interior, featuring both a bathtub with an over-bath shower and good storage options. Outside, the large rear garden measures approximately 80 feet in length, providing an ideal canvas for landscaping or perhaps future extensions (subject to planning permissions). It includes a paved patio area perfect for relaxation or entertaining, alongside mature shrubs that enhance privacy. Additionally, two sheds offer valuable storage space. With its blend of spacious living quarters and significant outdoor areas, this property is ripe for modernization or redevelopment. The central location further enhances its long-term investment appeal in a thriving community setting.
