Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached house presents a noteworthy investment opportunity in the desirable village of Great Leigh's, conveniently located within walking distance to essential amenities and with easy access to major roads A120 and A131. The layout features a lounge and kitchen on the ground floor, alongside a shower room, while the upper floor accommodates two spacious bedrooms. The external space is particularly promising, offering potential for an extended driveway at the front (subject to permissions) and a large rear garden that could be transformed into an inviting outdoor living area or even enlarged if desired (STPP). Although the property is in need of modernisation, it serves as an excellent blank slate for prospective buyers eager to personalise their home. The option to enclose the rear garden for added privacy further enhances its appeal. This residence is suitable for first-time buyers, investors, or anyone looking for a renovation project in a sought-after rural setting. Early viewings are encouraged to fully grasp the potential this property has to offer.
