Description

This mid-terrace period home presents a significant opportunity for those looking to undertake a complete renovation and modernization. Spanning two levels, the property offers flexible living spaces that can be reconfigured to suit individual preferences, making it an excellent prospect for owner-occupiers as well as investors aiming to maximize value. The ground floor features two reception rooms, including an appealing front lounge with a bay window, alongside a kitchen situated at the rear. Notably, there is no WC or bathroom on this level, which opens up possibilities for redesigning the layout to enhance functionality and flow, pending any required permissions. On the first floor, you will find a landing providing access to several bedrooms and a combined shower room with WC. The current bathroom facilities are in need of full refurbishment, offering an ideal starting point for reconfiguration within a wider renovation scheme. Throughout the house, conditions are poor, necessitating comprehensive updates across all rooms, services, and finishes. This situation allows for a creative blank canvas where buyers can truly personalize their restoration efforts. Externally, there is a reasonable rear garden that is currently overgrown but holds potential for inspiring landscaping or possible extensions with appropriate planning approval. The front of the property features a small forecourt typical of its era. Located on Whippendell Road in a well-established residential area close to Watford town centre, this property is within easy reach of local conveniences, schools, and transport links. Upon completion of renovations, it promises broad appeal to potential homeowners or tenants alike. With no onward chain attached to the sale, this characterful residence offers clear prospects for development into a modern home or investment in an attractive location.
