Description

This early 1900s semi-detached home offers an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on a generous plot, the property features parking and a spacious garden that backs onto open meadow, providing a peaceful atmosphere.

Inside, the layout includes two reception areas and a galley kitchen alongside two well-proportioned bedrooms—one with a balcony—plus an additional single bedroom, all of which are prime candidates for redesigning to meet contemporary living standards. The outdoor space boasts a garden and an outbuilding, appealing to developers or investors eager for straightforward value enhancement. Situated in a desirable area with easy access to local schools, shops, and the stunning Heritage Coast, this property stands in a strong location with ample room to grow its value. It's a rare chance to rejuvenate a period property while reaping substantial future returns.
