Description

This three to four bedroom detached chalet-style house offers substantial potential for renovation and investment, located within the desirable Bournes Green School catchment area. With its close proximity to the beach, Broadway shops, and a mainline railway station, this property is well-positioned for both personal residence and future value enhancement. The home presents a unique opportunity for buyers wanting to infuse their style and vision into the space, as it requires some updating while being available with immediate vacant possession. Plans for an ambitious three-storey detached residence are already in place, pending renewal of planning consent, providing a highly attractive avenue for those looking to create their dream home. The spacious entrance lobby welcomes you with dual glazed front doors, leading into a bright reception hall adorned with original features such as an attractive cast iron fireplace and beamed ceilings. The versatile layout includes a cloak/shower room, study with lovely garden views, and a lounge featuring a redbrick fireplace and stained glass bay window. The kitchen opens onto the side access and would benefit from modernization but retains ample space for reconfiguration. Upstairs hosts three good-sized bedrooms, each benefiting from natural light, plus a family bathroom that could be upgraded to enhance comfort and functionality. A single garage provides practical storage solutions while the large rear garden offers privacy and potential for landscaping or outdoor use improvements. This property stands as an excellent opportunity to make transformative updates in a sought-after locale.
