Description

This semi-detached cottage, featuring three bedrooms, represents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a property with both comfort and potential for enhancement. The home opens into a welcoming hallway that leads to a spacious lounge bathed in natural light, characterized by modern grey carpeting and neutral walls—ideal for various design styles. Adjoining the lounge is an expansive dining room that offers flexibility; it could serve as a family gathering space or be transformed into an open-plan layout as desired. The kitchen, already functional with white cabinetry and ample workspace, presents an excellent canvas for future upgrades that could elevate its appeal even further. Also on the ground floor are a generous double bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom with modern finishes. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms benefit from good dimensions and skylights that create an airy atmosphere, perfect for children's rooms or as dedicated creative spaces. Externally, the property features a tidy front garden leading to a private driveway, while the rear garden offers generous space including a lawn area and decked patio—great for outdoor living—and a substantial outbuilding that holds significant potential for conversion or other projects. With immediate livability combined with considerable scope for personalization and enhancement over time, this cottage is particularly appealing to families looking for longevity or those wanting to invest in their future.
