Description

This four-bedroom chalet presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with potential in the sought-after Rothesay Drive area. Located within walking distance of Highcliffe Castle and the beach, this home features a generously sized southerly-facing garden, perfect for outdoor enhancements. The property is being sold without an onward chain, providing immediate accessibility for new owners aiming to make improvements. Upon entry through the front porch, you'll find a bright hallway leading into the various living spaces. The ground floor consists of a kitchen, an L-shaped living and dining area, and a garden room that can be reimagined into a more functional layout. Two spacious bedrooms occupy this level, including one with an ensuite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom that may benefit from modernisation. The upper floor boasts two large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes; the principal suite includes its own ensuite shower room. However, updates could enhance their appeal significantly. Externally, the front driveway offers ample parking with brick paving and there’s a detached garage equipped with an electric roller door. The expansive wrap-around garden features perimeter fencing and storage space in the shed, along with patio and decking areas that present good scope for landscaping or outdoor entertaining enhancements. Rothesay Drive is notably desirable due to its proximity to local amenities on Highcliffe high street and recreational areas like Highcliffe Castle. This property holds substantial investment potential through renovation and personal touches to elevate its charm.
