Description

This expansive five-bedroom detached house, built in the 1960s, offers over 2,200 sq.ft of living space and is situated on a desirable road in Evington. The property occupies a substantial plot characterized by ample garden space and features synonymous with the era's architectural style, including generous glazing that invites natural light. Currently, the house requires comprehensive refurbishment which presents an exciting opportunity for investors or those looking to create a tailored family home. The entrance via a discreet service road leads to a block-paved driveway with parking for up to four vehicles. A welcoming glazed porch ushers you into a broad entrance hall that serves as the home's central hub. The ground floor layout flows effortlessly from room to room; the functional kitchen is complemented by an adjoining utility room, while a dedicated dining area and an expansive reception room create inviting spaces for both daily living and entertaining. Large windows enhance the connection to the surrounding garden, promoting an atmosphere of openness. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, each providing privacy and potential for personalization. The existing family bathroom is serviceable yet could be modernized easily according to personal taste. The outdoor area is particularly noteworthy, featuring mature gardens with established fruit trees and plants alongside a koi pond—a canvas awaiting creative landscaping or redesign. Additionally, there is an extended garage and workshop which offer possibilities for conversion into self-contained accommodations or workspace (subject to planning). This property's potential for modification extends beyond internal upgrades; the vast land also allows for future expansions if desired. Overall, this home represents an impressive project opportunity that can be transformed into a contemporary living space while retaining its distinctive mid-century charm. Located conveniently for local amenities and transport links, viewing early is recommended to fully appreciate what this property has to offer.
