Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Wood Street presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to invest in a project. The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation across two floors, complemented by an attached single garage and off-road parking. While the home requires modernisation throughout, it retains many attractive period features and provides a blank canvas for buyers to create a tailored living space. A standout feature is the substantial rear garden, which extends towards Pickwood Park and includes a stream at the bottom, offering excellent potential for transformation. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway that leads to the main ground floor rooms. The front of the house features a generous dining room/lounge with a bay window that overlooks the front elevation, providing a characterful and versatile reception area. At the rear, there is a further lounge that offers a more intimate setting with views of the garden and direct access outside. The kitchen, located off the hallway, provides access to a useful rear porch and garage area. Although it would benefit from updating, it offers the potential for improvement to create a practical kitchen space. The property also includes a downstairs WC and a conservatory that overlooks the rear garden, adding extra flexible living space, though this area would require refurbishment. On the first floor, you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is spacious and features fitted wardrobes along with a pleasant bay window that allows for ample natural light. The second bedroom is also generously sized with fitted wardrobes, while the third bedroom serves as a useful single room that could be adapted for various uses such as an office or nursery. Completing this level is a good-sized shower room that offers practical amenities but also has scope for modernisation. Externally, the property benefits from a small driveway for off-road parking and an impressive rear garden that is currently overgrown but holds significant landscaping potential. A paved patio area at the top of the garden provides a starting point for creating an attractive outdoor entertaining space. Overall, this semi-detached home is ideal for buyers seeking a project or investors looking to add value. Its location in a popular residential area further enhances its appeal, making it an excellent opportunity to create a spacious family home tailored to individual tastes.
