Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a promising opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. With no associated forward chain, it allows for a quick transition into homeownership. While the property requires some updating, it offers a blank canvas for buyers to inject their personal style and enhance its value over time. The potential for future extensions (subject to necessary planning permissions) opens up possibilities for expanding living spaces to meet evolving needs. The ground floor is versatile, featuring two reception areas that can be adapted as a comfortable lounge, a dining space, or even a children’s playroom. Additional rooms, including two store rooms and a WC, provide extra flexibility and may easily be reimagined as needed—be it extra storage or a home office setup. The bathroom has been modernized in recent years with the installation of a shower over bath arrangement, and the heating system is bolstered by a new Glow-worm combination boiler installed in 2022, ensuring dependable warmth and hot water. Spanning approximately 985 square feet, this well-proportioned property includes allocated parking at the rear with additional on-street options upfront. Located in Council Tax Band B with reasonable annual expenses around £1,700, it's an attractive choice for budget-conscious families or individuals. Its proximity to local amenities enhances convenience for everyday life. This house is ideally suited for first-time buyers looking to establish their own space or investors eager to capitalize on its renovation potential.
