Description

This five-bedroom detached family home in Lightwater offers over 2,300 sq ft of adaptable living space and is positioned on a generous southerly-facing plot. Its prime location provides easy access to the local village, reputable schools, and transport links. The property is ripe for renovation and presents exciting opportunities for further expansion or enhancement pending necessary planning approvals. The layout spreads across two levels, with a welcoming entrance hallway leading to a bright lounge adorned with a bay window, a separate dining room, and a well-sized kitchen/breakfast area that includes an adjoining utility room. Currently functional yet showing signs of age, the kitchen can benefit from modernisation to align with contemporary tastes. On the ground floor, three bedrooms provide flexible options for family living arrangements or potential home office use, accompanied by a family bathroom. The first floor houses two additional bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with built-in storage and access to eaves space for potential storage solutions. Outside, the private southerly gardens are suitable for outdoor entertaining and leisure activities. An outbuilding adds further investment potential as it could be transformed into an office or studio space. The property features ample off-street parking through a gated entrance leading to a detached double garage. This home not only allows for personalisation but also serves as an attractive investment in this desirable area of Lightwater.
