Description

Nestled on a generous corner plot in the desirable area of Penn, this charming three-bedroom semi-detached home combines character with ample outdoor space and significant renovation potential. The property, dating back to the pre-war era, boasts a unique charm that sets it apart from typical homes in the vicinity. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, it offers a sense of privacy and seclusion, making it an ideal retreat. Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall that leads to the main living areas. The bright lounge features a bay window that floods the room with natural light, complemented by a cozy fireplace. Adjacent to the lounge is the dining room, which boasts patio doors that open onto the expansive garden, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with practical units and a breakfast bar, retaining the quaint proportions characteristic of its era while providing opportunities for future reconfiguration. On the first floor, you will find three well-sized bedrooms: two spacious doubles and a single that can serve as a child's room or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with essential amenities, including a bath and wash basin. A standout feature of this property is the impressive rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrub borders that enhance privacy. This outdoor space is perfect for children to play, gardening enthusiasts to cultivate their passion, or hosting summer gatherings. The overall setting provides both charm and the potential for expansion or further development, subject to planning permissions. This property presents a rare opportunity to create a unique family home in one of Penn's larger plots.
