Description

Helenslea Cottage presents a unique opportunity for buyers to secure a three-bedroom semi-detached home with significant renovation potential. While the property features modern updates such as new flooring and fresh decor, there remains ample scope for personalization to truly make it your own. Upon entering through the porch, you are greeted by a bright hallway that leads to a spacious lounge filled with natural light, offering an ideal setting for furnishings of any style. Adjacent to the lounge, glazed double doors open into a generously sized dining room, which serves multiple purposes—perfect for family gatherings or future plans for an open-concept layout. The kitchen, equipped with white cabinetry and expansive worktops, functions well as is but presents further enhancement possibilities down the line. The ground floor also includes a sizeable double bedroom with views of the rear garden and a contemporary family bathroom featuring full tiling and a shower over the bath—this layout is particularly accommodating for buyers seeking multigenerational living options. On the upper level, two additional bedrooms await, each boasting good floor space and skylights that let in plenty of daylight. These rooms can easily serve as children's bedrooms, guest accommodations, or dedicated workspaces in the future. Externally, the property offers a private driveway and an easy-to-maintain garden at the front. The rear garden is impressively spacious and versatile—featuring lawn space for outdoor activities, a decked patio for summer entertaining, and a substantial outbuilding that could be repurposed according to your needs. This home provides immediate comfort paired with exciting long-term possibilities. It suits various buyer profiles—from those seeking to upscale their living situation to those looking for an evolving project. Helenslea Cottage stands out as a rare find in today’s market and warrants early viewing.
