Description

This charming three-bedroom semi-detached home is nestled in a sought-after neighborhood near Temple Park Field, presenting an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. The property boasts convenient access to major bus routes and local amenities, making it an attractive proposition for families and investors alike. Externally, the home features a double driveway that offers generous off-street parking along with a welcoming front porch, ideal for maintaining a tidy entrance. Inside, the spacious central hallway leads to a traditional layout; to the right, the living room benefits from natural light through its large front-facing window and showcases a marble fireplace—this room could be enhanced with modern design touches. The separate dining room at the rear of the house presents significant potential; it can easily be merged with the kitchen or living area (subject to planning) to create an expansive open-plan space tailored for contemporary family living. The kitchen is functional yet could be updated with modern appliances and finishes; it comes equipped with existing wall and base units that could serve as a solid foundation for transformation. Upstairs, the three bedrooms provide ample accommodation. The two spacious doubles are well-suited for various layouts, while the single bedroom offers flexible usage options such as a nursery or home office. The bathroom is currently fitted with a walk-in shower but offers enough space for potential improvements or additions like installing a bathtub. The sizeable rear garden includes paved areas, artificial turf, established shrubs, and useful structures like a greenhouse and shed—ideal for those who enjoy gardening or outdoor activities. Side access enhances its practicality. This property is not just about move-in readiness; it stands out as an investment opportunity ripe for modernization and reconfiguration, allowing buyers to add their personal touch and potentially increase its value significantly.
