Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, this semi-detached family residence presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. The four-bedroom layout is both spacious and adaptable, spanning two levels, with the potential for enhancement in various areas. The ground floor features an open-plan living area that encourages social interaction, leading directly into a modern kitchen equipped with a breakfast bar—this space could be further updated to maximize functionality and aesthetic appeal. An inviting entrance hall connects to a home office/study, catering to remote work needs, along with a convenient cloakroom/WC. Additionally, the integral garage offers excellent storage solutions or the possibility of conversion into further living space (subject to obtaining the necessary permissions). The upper floor consists of four bedrooms that allow for diverse uses—whether for children, guests, or as additional workspace—and are serviced by a family bathroom that may benefit from modernisation. Outside, the south-facing garden provides daylight throughout the day and is conducive to outdoor entertaining. This property not only showcases considerable living potential but also stands within the highly regarded village of Writtle, known for its historic charm and community spirit.
