Set on a substantial plot, the rear garden measures approximately 90 feet, providing ample space for outdoor enhancements and potential landscaping projects. The interior of the home is ready for modernization, making it an attractive option for those looking to invest in a property with significant improvement potential. Currently, the layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen with a breakfast area, three reasonably sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom equipped with both a bath and separate shower. Notable original features such as bay windows and exposed wooden elements lend character to the home. The property also offers built-in storage solutions while benefitting from gas-fired central heating (not tested) and partial double glazing.
