The ground floor features a spacious, modern kitchen/dining area equipped with integrated appliances, perfect for family living and entertaining. A convenient ground-floor wet room adds to the functionality of the layout. The inviting living room, bathed in natural light, boasts a log-burning stove, creating a cozy atmosphere. Upstairs, you will find three generously sized double bedrooms, all adorned with solid oak flooring, complemented by a family bathroom fitted with a four-piece suite. Outside, the property offers off-street parking and a well-maintained garden that enjoys a secluded position adjacent to established woodland, providing a serene backdrop. Notably, the current owners have secured planning permission for alterations, including a new entrance driveway and a two-storey rear extension. This presents an exciting opportunity for buyers to significantly expand and improve the existing accommodation, subject to necessary approvals. Conveniently located in the heart of the village, the property is close to local amenities and schools, including Ingrave Johnstone Primary School and several reputable secondary schools. Thorndon Country Park and a nearby golf course offer excellent options for outdoor activities.

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached home is set in a picturesque village location, offering a blend of generous accommodation and inviting interiors. The living room features a charming log-burning stove, while the modern kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances, making it a lovely space for family gatherings. Each of the three bedrooms boasts solid oak flooring, adding a touch of warmth and elegance.

Despite the appealing features, the asking price of £695,000 translates to £666 per sq ft, which is significantly above the local average of £498 per sq ft — a 33.8% premium. While the property is well-maintained and offers excellent potential for enhancement, the value proposition appears weak at this price point. However, with approved plans for extensions, there is notable potential to increase the living space substantially, which could ultimately justify the investment for the right buyer. This home is ready for immediate enjoyment while offering a canvas for future improvements.

Key opportunities

  • Approved plans for a two-storey rear extension to significantly enhance living space.
  • Private garden backing onto woodland, providing a tranquil outdoor retreat.
