Description

This versatile detached house presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to personalize their living space. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, the property boasts a west-facing rear garden that offers a degree of privacy, backing onto a playing field. The home is conveniently located within walking distance of local amenities, including a primary school, pub, sports club, and village hall, making it ideal for families or those seeking a peaceful community atmosphere. Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway leading to a spacious lounge/dining room that spans the width of the house. This room features a focal fireplace and large windows overlooking the garden, with double doors that open into a charming garden room. The kitchen offers ample storage with base and eye-level units, a breakfast bar, and space for essential appliances. A front-facing bedroom can serve as an additional sitting room or study, while a bathroom with a three-piece suite completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master bedroom with views over the playing field. The family bathroom is in need of refurbishment, providing an opportunity for modernization. Outside, the rear garden features a paved patio area and well-maintained lawns with borders filled with shrubs and plants. The front garden is similarly landscaped, and there are two driveways providing ample parking, one leading to a garage equipped with power. With its potential for personalization and renovation, this property is not to be missed. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the dimensions and layout of this home.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached house presents a solid opportunity for renovation in a desirable cul-de-sac location. With an asking price of £339,000, it stands below the local average of £424,013, making it an attractive proposition for those looking to invest in a property that offers both space and potential. The versatile layout, spacious living areas, and well-maintained garden are all significant positives, particularly for families or those seeking a quiet retreat close to local amenities.

While the kitchen is functional, it does have a dated feel, and the bathroom is in need of refurbishment, providing immediate avenues for improvement. The overall condition of the house is good, with spacious bedrooms and a welcoming living area, but some areas will require updating. Given the price point and potential renovation budget of £40,000 to £80,000, this property offers a canvas for buyers to put their own stamp on it, enhancing both comfort and value in the process.
