Description

This semi-detached home offers a unique blend of traditional charm and modern functionality, presenting an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. The ground floor features a spacious lounge that provides a lovely view of the front garden, complemented by a separate dining room with French doors leading to a sizable rear garden. The kitchen is modern but could benefit from some updates to further enhance its appeal. Notably, this property includes practical elements such as a utility room and an under-stairs pantry that could be optimized for better use. On the first floor, you'll find two generous double bedrooms and a good-sized third bedroom, alongside a stylish bathroom. The loft space, easily accessible via a pull-down ladder and fully boarded, holds great potential for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning permission). Recent installations such as solar panels not only contribute to sustainability but can also help reduce energy costs significantly. With thoughtful updates, this home retains various period features while providing ample opportunities for customization. Outside, the charming front garden leads to a substantial rear garden that is primarily laid to lawn with mature plants providing both privacy and aesthetic appeal. A large storage shed enhances functionality in the outdoor space. With considerable on-street parking available and located in the East Midlands region, this property represents a sound investment for families seeking to create their ideal home through renovation.
