Description

This two-bedroom terraced home presents a solid foundation for those seeking a renovation project or investment opportunity in a desirable location. While the property requires modernisation, its layout and features offer considerable potential for enhancement, making it an attractive prospect for first-time buyers or investors looking to add value. Upon entry, you'll find a welcoming hall with stairs leading to the first floor. The living room is spacious and filled with natural light from the large front-facing window, complemented by an open fireplace that adds character to the space. A doorway connects the living room to the kitchen, which features an array of fitted units and two windows that overlook the expansive rear garden. Storage is ample, with a large understairs cupboard and a larder cupboard offering practical solutions for organization. A rear porch provides convenient access to the garden outside. The upstairs layout includes two bedrooms and a shower room. The main bedroom is well-sized, featuring a window to the front and built-in wardrobe space that maximizes storage options. The second bedroom serves as a cozy single room with rear-facing views. The shower room is functional, equipped with essential amenities including a WC, hand basin, towel rail, and sizeable shower unit. Outside, both front and rear gardens enhance the property's appeal. The small front garden primarily consists of lawn with a pathway leading directly to the entrance. However, it’s the generous rear garden that stands out—offering ample space for landscaping or potential expansion. This area includes a substantial hard standing section along with an outbuilding, providing versatility for various projects or storage needs. Notably, there is also potential for creating off-street parking by utilizing part of this land. The property benefits from recent improvements such as external insulation and a new roof, which positions it well for future enhancements while reducing immediate upkeep costs. With its combination of structural integrity and renovation potential in an appealing area, this home invites creativity and investment foresight from its next owner.
