Description

This semi-detached house, located in a sought-after suburban area near May Bank, offers significant potential for renovation and investment. While it currently requires general modernization, the property allows for various improvement opportunities, including the possibility of extending the living space (subject to obtaining planning permission). One exciting option is to open up the existing kitchen and dining areas, creating a contemporary and spacious family hub. The entrance features a glazed porch with quarry tiles, leading into a reception hall that includes an under-stairs pantry for added storage. The two reception rooms provide views to both the front and rear of the home. The compact galley kitchen is equipped with essential services such as an electric cooker point and plumbing for a washing machine. A rear porch offers access to the outdoor space, complemented by a utility cupboard and a convenient ground-floor WC. Upstairs, you will find a central landing with loft access, along with two spacious double bedrooms—both outfitted with fitted wardrobes—plus a versatile box room suitable for an office or nursery. The bathroom is functional but could benefit from modern updating. Outside, the property features double gates opening onto a paved driveway leading to the side of the house. The small yet charming front garden showcases mature shrubs, while the rear garden is equipped with two patio areas, shrub borders, an ornamental pond, and a wooden shed. This property comes with no upward chain and presents an appealing prospect for buyers looking to invest in their vision.
