Description

Nestled in the sought-after residential area of Acomb, this well-kept three-bedroom semi-detached property sits on a substantial plot, offering a private vista to the rear. While the home has been maintained with care, it presents an excellent opportunity for renovations and extensions (subject to planning permissions), making it an ideal starter home or family dwelling with access to reputable schools nearby. The layout includes an inviting entrance hall that leads to a bright and airy living room at the front, enhanced by a large bay window that bathe the space in natural light. Towards the back of the house is a versatile second reception room connecting to the kitchen, external storage areas, and a handy ground-floor WC. On the upper level, you will find two generously sized double bedrooms — both featuring built-in storage solutions — alongside a cozy single bedroom and a family bathroom equipped with three-piece fittings. Outside, the west-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and includes patio spaces, along with a brick-built outbuilding and shed, all surrounded by mature hedging for added privacy. The front garden also offers promising potential for creating driveway parking if desired. This property is offered with no onward chain, presenting further convenience for prospective buyers looking to invest in a home with ample renovation potential.
