Description

This charming semi-detached family home offers a blend of classic style and significant potential for renovation, situated conveniently near Portslade Village Centre. With three bedrooms and ample living space, this property is ripe for transformation to suit modern lifestyles while retaining its original character. The main living area includes a spacious 17ft lounge, featuring an ornamental fireplace that adds a touch of warmth and nostalgia. The adjacent kitchen/dining room spans 17ft, fitted with essential appliances such as an induction hob and built-in oven, yet it invites further upgrades to tailor the cooking space to your preferences. Sliding patio doors open to an expansive 88ft rear garden, primarily laid to lawn, which provides a private outdoor retreat with potential landscaping opportunities. On the first floor, the layout comprises three well-sized bedrooms. The two larger rooms benefit from generous natural light and storage solutions, while the third bedroom presents options for a home office or nursery. The bath/shower room features necessary amenities but could be modernized to enhance comfort and style. This property also boasts gas central heating and UPVC double glazing throughout, ensuring energy efficiency while you embark on your renovation journey. Positioned in a sought-after residential area, residents can enjoy easy access to local amenities within Portslade Village as well as larger commercial centers like the Holmbush Centre and Sainsbury's store nearby.

Given its size, location, and potential for updates or expansion (subject to planning), this home presents an appealing opportunity for both homeowners looking to create their ideal living space and investors seeking value in a vibrant community.
