This three-bedroom detached home presents an excellent opportunity for investors and renovators alike. Nestled in a desirable area of the South East, the property boasts a generous layout, expansive garden space, and a versatile outbuilding that can cater to various needs. While the home has seen recent updates, there remains room for further enhancement to maximize its potential. The welcoming entrance leads into a spacious lounge, which flows into a kitchen/breakfast room designed around modern living—complete with integrated appliances and ample natural light from sliding patio doors opening to the rear garden. Additional features include a utility room and cloakroom for convenience. Upstairs offers two well-sized double bedrooms, alongside a charming single bedroom, serviced by a contemporary four-piece family bathroom. The sizeable rear garden is primarily laid to lawn with a patio area, ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. A converted garage adds further appeal; it’s insulated and equipped with power—perfect for use as an office or gym. Importantly, there is considerable potential to extend this property further (subject to planning permissions), making it attractive for those looking to add value over time. Positioned close to essential local amenities, reputable schools, and transport links, this home combines comfort with investment prospects.
