Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached house, located centrally in Forton, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. With its proximity to the local primary school and easy access to the A6, it offers excellent transport links not only to Preston and Lancaster but also towards the scenic Lake District and Scotland via the nearby M6 motorway. The property sits on an elevated plot and benefits from a driveway that leads to a detached garage, enhancing its appeal. Upon entering, you are greeted by a kitchen equipped with basic wall and base units, alongside necessary plumbing for standard appliances such as a cooker, washing machine, and fridge freezer. The layout flows into a dining hallway that can accommodate a good-sized dining table. There are two versatile reception rooms on the ground floor; one currently serves as a lounge while the other has been used as an additional bedroom. This flexible layout allows for various configurations depending on your needs—whether it’s hosting guests or creating a home office. On the first floor, you’ll find a spacious bedroom alongside a family bathroom. Given that this property is offered with no onward chain, it is perfect for buyers seeking a project that primarily requires cosmetic updates rather than extensive structural work. Currently heated by electric storage heaters, with some modernization and reconfiguration, this home has great investment potential in one of Forton's most desirable areas.
