Description

This end-of-terrace property, spanning three levels, presents a remarkable opportunity for those interested in a renovation project. With a wealth of original features and period detail still intact, this home invites buyers to reimagine the space while increasing its long-term value. Upon entry, a spacious hallway sets the tone, leading to a bright living room that offers ample space for relaxation or entertaining guests. The well-equipped galley kitchen provides functional storage and work surfaces, adjoined by a separate dining area for family meals or hosting gatherings. On the first floor, you’ll discover two large double bedrooms complemented by a convenient shower room and an additional separate WC. The top floor reveals a sizable versatile room that could serve as a third bedroom, home office, or creative studio, complete with built-in storage and plumbing access for future enhancements (subject to planning approval). There’s also a small WC on this level. Outside, the property boasts a private courtyard garden featuring decking—an inviting spot for outdoor seating or summer barbecues—and extra value is added with an external WC. With an EPC rating of E and freehold tenure, this home is ripe for transformation into your dream residence.
