Description

Nestled in a tranquil location just moments from Russell Park, this charming period terraced cottage presents a blank canvas for those keen to invest in a property ripe for renovation. With no onward chain, the home offers three bedrooms, combined sitting and dining areas, a kitchen, and a ground floor shower room with an adjacent space for laundry facilities. While the property showcases essential features such as gas radiator heating and uPVC double-glazed windows, it is in need of some modern updates to truly make it shine. The enclosed rear garden includes a useful garden store/workshop equipped with electricity, providing additional functionality. This desirable area is just a short walk from Castle Road, known for its vibrant selection of cafes, delis, pubs, and restaurants, while the scenic Embankment is also easily accessible.
