Description

This original four-bedroom detached family home presents a significant opportunity for renovation and expansion. Located in a serene residential area, the property lies within proximity to the well-regarded Grove School and is surrounded by similar-sized homes. The house sits on a generous plot that offers ample parking space and includes a double garage, making it an attractive prospect for those looking to enhance its value through improvements or extensions, subject to planning permissions. Upon entering, you'll find an entrance hall that leads into various spacious living areas including a lounge and dining room with multiple radiators for comfort. The kitchen is fitted with essential appliances and provides direct access to the side of the property. Each of the four bedrooms benefits from good natural light, featuring built-in storage options that maximize space utility. An updated shower room adds convenience but may also warrant modernization. The garden at the rear is predominantly laid to lawn and offers privacy thanks to mature shrubs; this outdoor area holds potential for further landscaping or recreational use. With thoughtful upgrades, this home could become an inviting haven while increasing in market value.
