Description

This charming 1950s detached home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion, capitalizing on its generous plot and prime location. Spanning approximately 0.11 acres, the property features a spacious lawned rear garden that offers potential for landscaping or outdoor enhancements. With no onward chain, this is an ideal project for those looking to invest in a property with significant room for improvement. The inviting entrance hall leads to a dual-aspect living dining room, enhanced by natural light and French doors that connect seamlessly to the rear garden. A feature fireplace serves as a cozy focal point in this versatile space. The ground floor also includes a kitchen that could be modernized to create an open-plan living area, tailoring it to contemporary tastes. Upstairs, the home comprises three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles equipped with fitted wardrobes. While the family bathroom offers essential facilities, there is ample scope to modernize and reconfigure these spaces to enhance comfort and style. The property currently has gas supply; however, central heating installation remains an opportunity for the new owner to explore. Externally, the extensive gravelled driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a single garage featuring a metal up-and-over door. Additional brick-built storage can be found on-site, contributing practical value. Located in Clapham, this residence benefits from its proximity to local amenities including riverside walks, shops like a mini Tesco supermarket, and community services such as a doctor’s surgery and schools known for their quality education. Just two miles from Bedford's train station, residents enjoy convenient access to frequent services into London. This property not only offers a comfortable home but also represents an exciting investment opportunity within a vibrant village setting rich in potential for future growth and development.
