Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached property offers significant renovation potential in a desirable location. Owned by a single family for many years, the home has been a center for joyful memories and now presents an exciting opportunity for new owners to infuse it with their personal touch. Set in a popular area that attracts families, this property stands out as an investment opportunity in a competitive housing market. The ground floor features a traditional design with a spacious lounge and a separate dining room that overlooks the sizeable rear garden, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining guests. While the kitchen has received modern updates, it connects directly to the garage, hinting at possibilities for conversion into additional living space, which could enhance functionality and value. Upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms; even the smallest can comfortably fit a double bed. The family bathroom showcases a contemporary three-piece suite along with underfloor heating — adding comfort while you consider further enhancements. The expansive north-easterly facing garden is not only sunlight-filled throughout warmer months but also offers versatility for potential extensions or landscaping projects. Whether you envision an outdoor entertaining space, a play area for children, or even a self-contained office, this garden provides ample scope to realize those aspirations. At the front of the property, there’s off-road parking available for two vehicles, with additional opportunities to expand parking capacity by modifying existing spaces. Conveniently located near respected schools and just one mile from the beach, this home not only delivers comfortable living but also embodies an appealing lifestyle for its residents.
