Description

Nestled in the sought-after area of Old Dover Road, this spacious five-bedroom detached home presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Constructed in the 1950s, the property features timeless design elements paired with generous living areas that offer tremendous potential for modern updates. The home's striking facade, complete with Crittall-style windows, hints at both character and natural brightness inside.

Accessed via a private driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles, the residence boasts an integrated garage and well-maintained front gardens that enhance its appeal. Inside, the expansive entrance hall introduces a thoughtful layout across the ground floor, ideal for families and entertaining.

The main lounge is characterized by its inviting open fireplace and large windows that invite ample daylight. A formal dining room provides additional space for gatherings, while the kitchen—complete with an AGA cooker—offers significant scope for redesign or expansion to suit your culinary needs. Further functional spaces include a boot room and pantry, alongside a convenient ground floor WC.

On the first floor, five generously sized double bedrooms ensure plenty of accommodation options for families or professionals needing extra room. These are complemented by a family bathroom and an additional shower room; notably, a spacious loft presents further possibilities for conversion (subject to planning consent).

The rear garden is another strong asset of this property—established yet private, it provides an oasis of tranquility featuring lush lawns and mature shrubbery along with patio space for outside dining. This home not only has ample charm but also significant potential to be transformed into your ideal family haven.
