Description

This charming three-bedroom semi-detached home, built in the 1930s, is being offered for sale for the first time in nearly sixty years. Nestled on a quiet and sought-after residential street in Hamsey Green, this property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. While it retains period features such as coved cornices and picture rails, the interior is in need of sympathetic modernization, allowing you to create a space that reflects your personal style. The level plot offers excellent potential for expansion; with appropriate permissions, you could extend the side of the house or convert the garage into additional living space, enhancing both functionality and value. The property features a light-filled reception room and a dining room that opens onto a north-west facing garden—a lovely setting for outdoor entertaining. The kitchen includes a separate utility room for added convenience. Each of the bedrooms has characterful features typical of the era and plenty of scope for reconfiguration. With good local schools nearby and easy access to public transport links, this home combines village tranquility with accessibility to urban amenities. This is an ideal project for those looking to invest in a solid home with great potential in a desirable area.
