Description

This semi-detached house presents an appealing opportunity for homeowners and investors alike, being offered without any onward chain. Located in a desirable cul-de-sac just off St Johns Road, the property is conveniently close to local schools, public transport links, shopping facilities, and major roadways including the A12/A120. The residence features a well-utilized layout with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple reception spaces that can benefit from modern updates. The living area includes double glazed French doors leading to a private rear garden, while the kitchen offers ample scope for refurbishment with its existing high-gloss cabinets and integrated appliances. Although already comfortably presented throughout, this home provides a solid foundation for light to medium renovations such as upgrading fixtures or enhancing outdoor spaces. With a manageable side courtyard and workshop equipped with power and lighting, the potential to create useful functional areas is evident. This property appeals not only as a family home but also as an investment opportunity in a developing area.
