Description

This three-bedroom property presents a noteworthy opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with significant renovation potential. Located within easy walking distance of the highly regarded Falkland and Park House schools, as well as local shops and recreational spaces, the home is situated in an area that combines convenience with a friendly community atmosphere. One of the standout features of this residence is its generous front and rear gardens, which not only offer outdoor space for relaxation but also present an excellent canvas for potential expansion or landscaping projects, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. While the interior is currently functional, it would benefit from updating, allowing the new owner to infuse their personal style and enhance its overall appeal. The layout comprises an entrance hall leading to a cloakroom, followed by an open-plan kitchen/diner that boasts French doors opening onto a south-facing patio and garden—ideal for entertaining or enjoying sunny days. The living room is spacious and dual-aspect, providing pleasant views of the front garden. Accommodation includes a master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Practical features such as UPVC double glazing, gas-fired central heating, and a garage equipped with light and power add to the property's livability. Nestled in the charming market town of Newbury, residents benefit from vibrant shopping options including both local boutiques and well-known retailers along a pedestrianized high street. The area boasts a variety of dining choices from cafes to restaurants and bars, alongside leisure activities like a multi-screen cinema and the historic Corn Exchange theatre. Transport links are excellent with a major rail station offering direct services to London Paddington and easy access to the M4/A34 junction. Overall, this property offers not only comfortable living space but also promising investment potential in an appealing location ripe for personal touches and enhancements.
