Description

This mid-terrace three-bedroom home presents an excellent opportunity for renovation, situated in the desirable area of Wantage. The property features a welcoming entrance hall with ample storage and a staircase leading to the upper level. The spacious living/dining area benefits from dual aspects and sliding patio doors that open up to a garden, while the kitchen includes base and eye-level units alongside space for white goods and access to the outdoor space. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms with built-in storage, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The rear garden, facing south-east, is predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and includes a covered patio area along with a greenhouse, shed, and outbuilding. Additionally, there is a garage that currently requires structural attention. With no onward chain, this property is ideal for those looking to invest in a home that requires modernisation. Wantage itself is rich in history and offers various amenities including good schools and convenient transport links via the A34 for commutes to London and beyond.
