Description

This older three-bedroom semi-detached house is situated on a quiet side road, within convenient walking distance of Wantage's town centre and marketplace. While the property requires modernisation, it holds significant potential for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their tastes. The ground floor encompasses a front sitting room featuring original wooden floorboards and a staircase leading to the upper level. At the rear, there is a spacious dual-aspect kitchen/dining area that overlooks the garden, along with access to a lobby and bathroom. The first floor houses three bedrooms, all retaining exposed floorboards; the master bedroom benefits from additional storage space and a window facing the front of the property. Externally, you'll find a well-sized front lawn bordered by a privet hedge, alongside potential off-street parking opportunities pending kerb lowering approval. A gated access leads you to an expansive rear garden measuring over 80 feet, which includes both lawn and patio areas—ideal for outdoor living or future landscaping projects. The property is being sold with no onward chain and offers an enticing canvas for those wishing to invest in renovations and personalise their living space. Initial searches have already been conducted by the seller to facilitate the sales process.
