Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a prime opportunity for renovation and investment, especially given its strategic location near Upney Station and local amenities. The property features a triple driveway and undercover side access, enhancing its appeal. Inside, you will find a lounge, a versatile reception room that could serve as either a dining area or snug, and a rear garden complete with a brick outbuilding suitable for storage. The upstairs includes three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
