Description

This three-bedroom detached house presents a significant opportunity for renovation, situated centrally in Chippenham, which offers both convenience and potential for capital growth. While the property is currently in need of updating, its classic older style provides a solid foundation for creative enhancements. The ground floor layout includes a welcoming reception hall leading to a spacious sitting room with a bay window that floods the space with natural light, enhancing its inviting atmosphere. Adjacent is a separate dining room that overlooks the rear garden, making it an ideal setting for family meals or entertaining guests. The kitchen, while basic, features essential amenities and offers ample potential for modern upgrades. A side lobby provides access to the rear garden and additional storage options. Upstairs, the first floor hosts a generously sized principal bedroom complete with a bay window and an original fireplace, as well as two additional bedrooms that could be transformed into comfortable living spaces or home offices. The bathroom accommodates necessary fixtures but also presents an opportunity for modernization. Outside, the property features a low-maintenance front garden framed by brick walls and railings, providing curb appeal. The rear garden is notably larger, offering an enclosed space with a paved patio area for outdoor relaxation and decorative stone landscaping that can easily be reimagined to suit personal tastes. Positioned just a short walk from Chippenham's mainline railway station—providing direct access to London Paddington in approximately one hour—and within close reach of the town center's various amenities, this property benefits from excellent connectivity and local services. Additionally, nearby educational institutions and recreational areas like John Cole’s Park enhance its appeal to families. The location combined with the property's inherent renovation potential makes this an attractive investment opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home or capitalize on rental prospects in a thriving community.
