Description

Located in a quiet residential area of Southwick, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant potential for enhancement. The home is being sold without a chain and is well-positioned near public transport, local shops, and essential amenities, alongside convenient access to scenic countryside trails. While the property is currently habitable, it presents ample opportunities for modernization throughout, making it an attractive choice for buyers eager to add personal touches and increase value over time. Features include a light-filled south-facing lounge, three bedrooms, a tranquil garden space, and a private driveway leading to a garage. Upon entry via the side door, you'll find yourself in a central hallway that benefits from natural light courtesy of a rear window. The spacious lounge (17'3 x 10'11) at the front of the house enjoys dual large windows overlooking the garden, providing flexibility in furniture arrangement and allowing for family dining. The kitchen at the rear features solid wood cabinetry and generous worktop space; it leads into a conservatory that can serve as an additional reception area or dining nook with direct access to the garden. Ascending the staircase from the hallway brings you to two double bedrooms; the main bedroom boasts a bay window with southern views. A third single bedroom serves well as either an office or child's room. The separate bathroom and WC are designed for practical family living. Further possibilities exist for expanding into the loft or extending at the back (subject to necessary planning permissions). Externally, the secluded rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped with mature shrubs and trees that enhance privacy. It also features a greenhouse, shed, and summer house toward its far end - useful for storage or hobbies. With an appealing outlook, this garden represents an ideal space for relaxation or entertainment. The property includes off-road parking options via a driveway that accommodates one vehicle and has potential to be expanded. A neatly manicured front lawn adds further curb appeal. In terms of location, residents can easily access picturesque footpaths leading into South Downs National Park while being just a short distance from community-oriented facilities such as Southwick Green's shopping locale and recreational grounds. Family-friendly amenities like primary schools and Shoreham Academy secondary school are also nearby.
