The property is set over three floors and offers a practical ground floor layout, including an integral garage that has potential for conversion into additional living space, a gym, or a home office, subject to planning consent.

While the interior is dated and shows signs of wear across all rooms, this presents a canvas for refurbishment that allows you to tailor each space to your taste. The kitchen and bathroom are in need of updates, but the overall layout and good condition of the exterior and roof provide a solid foundation for your vision. With off-street parking and a manageable garden, this home offers the potential for modern living in a well-connected neighbourhood close to transport links and local schools. Overall, this property is a potential opportunity for refurbishment and value creation.
