Description

This semi-detached four-bedroom house showcases a blend of original character and untapped potential, ideal for those looking to invest in a property that requires refurbishment. The home features a spacious lounge dining area with an inviting bay window and period fireplace, complemented by a practical downstairs bedroom and shower room. Upstairs, the family bathroom adds further functionality. Spanning approximately 1339 sq. ft., the layout offers generous living space, perfect for families or as a buy-to-let investment. Natural light floods through large windows, illuminating the period details throughout, including high ceilings and wooden flooring. The kitchen is equipped with essential amenities and overlooks the private rear garden, which is enhanced by mature planting and opportunities for outdoor entertaining. While the property retains much of its charm, it does require modernisation to maximise its appeal and comfort. Additionally, plans are in place by the current owner to retain part of the garden for constructing a self-contained annexe, providing further investment possibilities. Set in a desirable residential location, this property represents an exciting opportunity to create a modern family home while preserving its historical essence.
