Description

Rose Cottage presents an exciting opportunity for investors or those looking to create their ideal family home. This detached property features three generously sized bedrooms and two distinct reception areas, each with its own character, making it adaptable to various living arrangements. The bright kitchen offers direct access to the spacious garden, perfect for outdoor entertaining and potential landscaping enhancements. While the home showcases charm with original features like a Limestone fireplace and picture rails, there is room for modernization, especially in the kitchen and bathroom areas where contemporary updates could significantly increase value. The inclusion of a utility room and ground-floor cloakroom adds convenience but could be reconfigured for improved functionality. Set in a desirable location, this home benefits from excellent transport links and local amenities, further enhancing its investment appeal. Notably, there are generous garden spaces that lend themselves well to possible extensions or additional parking solutions, subject to planning permission. This property not only offers immediate comfort but also substantial renovation potential to maximize both its living space and market value.
