Description

This three-bedroom detached chalet-style home offers a blend of spacious living and potential for renovation, making it an appealing investment opportunity. Nestled in an established neighborhood that backs onto the south, the property is conveniently close to local amenities, including the beach, shops on Broadway, and the mainline railway station. Upon entering, you are greeted by an entrance porch that leads into a welcoming hallway with access to the ground floor rooms. The living room is particularly generous in size and flows seamlessly into a conservatory that overlooks a large, private rear garden. This inviting space is perfect for relaxation or entertaining and opens up possibilities for modernizing and enhancing its appeal. The kitchen/breakfast room features a layout that can be refreshed with contemporary updates. It includes wooden cabinetry, ample counter space, and essential appliances such as a gas hob and electric oven. The adjacent dining area benefits from natural light through dual windows and sliding doors leading to the conservatory. On the first floor, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering good natural light and storage options. The main bedroom has both side and front windows allowing for cross-ventilation, while bedrooms two and three provide comfortable spaces with potential for further enhancement or reconfiguration if desired. The bathroom features a four-piece suite that could be modernized to meet today's standards, offering both functionality and comfort. Externally, the property boasts an in-and-out block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking alongside a garage equipped with power and lighting—a valuable feature for any homeowner or investor looking to utilize this space creatively. The extensive south-facing garden is mostly laid to lawn with mature borders that introduce both greenery and privacy. With some thoughtful redesigns or landscaping improvements, this outdoor area can become a standout feature of the home. With no onward chain attached to this property, it's an ideal prospect for those looking to create their own vision while capitalizing on the location's benefits. This home presents not just a residence but also a canvas for renovation that can increase value over time in a desirable setting.
