Description

This spacious three-bedroom Victorian-style residence presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment, situated in a desirable location near local amenities, recreational areas, and educational institutions. Its setting provides both convenience and community-oriented living, making it an ideal choice for families or investors. The property is set back from the road behind a sizable front garden, enhancing its curb appeal. There is potential to create off-road parking space—a feature that has been successfully implemented by several neighboring properties, pending necessary planning permissions. Inside, the ground floor features a welcoming lounge with a bay window that invites natural light, along with a separate dining room. An inner lobby leads to the kitchen and utility area, while a family bathroom completes this level. The layout offers flexibility for those looking to enhance the living space. The first floor hosts three bedrooms: two doubles and a well-proportioned single room that could serve various purposes such as an office or guest room. The distribution of space allows for customization to suit different needs. Externally, both front and rear gardens are present, with the rear garden featuring a patio area alongside a lawn. A concrete base at the back of the garden was previously used for parking but now accommodates a shed—this area presents additional options for landscaping or future development. Though some cosmetic updates are needed, this property stands as a blank canvas ready for personal touch and modernization. Notably, the boiler is relatively new at just three years old, providing peace of mind regarding essential utilities. With approximately 81 sq. m (872 sq.ft) of living space, this home appeals not only to first-time buyers seeking their own project but also to families or investors looking for properties in an area rich in potential. Halstead itself is characterized by its vibrant market town atmosphere, located seven miles north of Braintree. It boasts an array of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and beautiful walking paths. As the town continues to grow—with over 11,000 residents—it offers excellent educational facilities and healthcare options including hospitals and medical centers. This combination of features makes it an attractive locale for long-term investment opportunities.
