Description

This mid-terrace property presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment in a sought-after town center location. With an array of local amenities and convenient transport links just a short distance away, this property is ideally situated for those looking to capitalize on the potential growth in the area. The home features two bedrooms, a ground-floor bathroom, and a functional layout that includes a lounge and dining room that opens into the kitchen. The double-glazed windows throughout the property ensure adequate natural light, while recent updates include a newly installed boiler. The rear yard offers outdoor space that could be transformed into a cozy retreat or additional storage options. While the property does require some renovations, this is reflected in its listing price, making it an attractive proposition for cash buyers interested in developing their own vision or enhancing rental potential. The living spaces offer room for creative upgrades, whether you envision modernizing the kitchen or redesigning the bathroom to meet contemporary standards. Both bedrooms provide ample space and feature double-glazed windows that contribute to energy efficiency. With under-stair storage available in the dining area and straightforward access to all essential services—gas, electric, water, and drainage—the groundwork is laid for a sound investment. This property comes with vacant possession, allowing for immediate occupancy or swift renovation plans. Its prime location coupled with significant investment potential makes it an attractive choice for developers or landlords ready to make their mark on the rental market.
