This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents an excellent opportunity for those interested in a comprehensive renovation project. The ground floor features a hallway leading to a living room measuring approximately 12ft x 8ft and a separate dining room of about 11ft x 11ft, alongside a kitchen with pantry storage and a conveniently located ground floor bathroom. Upstairs, the property boasts a spacious landing that accesses three double bedrooms, each equipped with built-in cupboards. The substantial rear garden, measuring around 65ft x 39ft, offers considerable potential for extension at the back of the house (subject to local planning permissions). Additionally, there are two outdoor storage cupboards and side access leading to the front of the property.
