Description

This three-bedroom detached house, on a notably large plot, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and potential expansion (subject to planning approval). Built in the 1950s and on the market for the first time in four decades, the property is well-kept but shows signs of needing modernization to unlock its full potential. The layout includes a welcoming entrance hall guiding you to various ground floor spaces, including a cloakroom/WC for convenience. The front-facing sitting room features a bay window that bathes the space in natural light, while the central dining/family room serves as the core of daily activities and gatherings. This area leads into a kitchen fitted with practical units and surfaces, providing ample scope for updates. At the rear, a spacious conservatory adds valuable living space with garden views, perfect for family time or entertaining. An integral garage offers storage options or potential for conversion. On the first floor, you'll find three bedrooms alongside a family bathroom – two spacious doubles and a single that could serve multiple purposes such as an office or nursery. The expansive exterior boasts established gardens and off-street parking via dual driveways leading to both the garage and an additional outbuilding. With local amenities, schools, public transport links, and healthcare facilities all within easy reach, this home is primed not just for immediate living but for future development.
