Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a promising opportunity for families or first-time buyers looking to invest in a comfortable home. The property boasts well-proportioned living spaces, enhanced by a new roof and a recently installed gas-fired central heating system. The double-glazed windows have also been upgraded, ensuring energy efficiency and comfort throughout. While the home may benefit from some modernisation, it remains a cozy dwelling with manageable outdoor spaces, including a small front garden and a larger rear garden that offers pleasant views of the surrounding fells. Convenient parking is available directly at the rear of the property. Located on the edge of the desirable Kirkfield residential estate, this home is just off Kirkstone Road, providing easy access to Ambleside's amenities, including shops, restaurants, schools, and healthcare services. The property is subject to a Local Occupancy Condition, requiring buyers to have lived or worked in Cumbria for the past three years. This unique requirement adds an additional layer of community engagement for potential residents.

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a solid opportunity for those looking to invest in a property that offers a good foundation for improvement. The asking price of £255,000 stands out as a cheaper option compared to the local average sale price of £495,585, making it an attractive entry point for first-time buyers or families. Although the property may require some modernisation, it benefits from a new roof, a recently installed heating system, and improved double-glazed windows, ensuring that the essentials are already well taken care of.

The generous kitchen/diner and spacious living room provide ample scope for refreshing and personalising the interiors, while the manageable garden space offers potential for outdoor enhancements. The property is ideally located on the edge of a popular residential estate in Ambleside, close to local amenities and with the added benefit of residents parking. The 'Local Occupancy Condition' may limit potential buyers, but for those who qualify, this home could be a wonderful project that balances comfort and opportunity for growth.
