Description

This expansive single-storey home encompasses about 2,628 sq ft of flexible living space and sits on a generous 0.45-acre plot, presenting noteworthy renovation opportunities. The property features a detached double garage, which adds potential for conversion to additional living space or office. Inside, the reception hall welcomes you with natural light filtering through the hardwood glazed door and side panels. The sitting room is bright and offers direct access to the terrace and garden through sliding patio doors; it could benefit from modern updates to enhance its warmth and appeal. The dining room's dual-aspect windows frame lovely views, hinting at possibilities for an open-plan kitchen design that could create a contemporary family hub when combined with the existing kitchen/breakfast area. While the kitchen itself is functional, there is scope for upgrading appliances and aesthetics to align with modern tastes. Each of the five bedrooms is generously sized, with built-in wardrobes, but may require refreshing or reconfiguration for optimal use of space. Notably, the loft space boasts significant height and floor area, suggesting strong potential for conversion into more living areas or bedrooms, subject to planning approval. Outside, the well-established gardens present ample opportunity for landscaping enhancements to increase outdoor enjoyment. Overall, this property has substantial investment potential in terms of layout improvements and modernization efforts.
