Description

This charming semi-detached house is situated on the desirable Walney Island, just a short distance from the beach and conveniently close to local amenities. The property is well-positioned for access to reputable schools, bus routes, shops, and eateries, making it an ideal choice for families seeking a connected coastal lifestyle. The generous rear garden offers a mature outdoor space perfect for relaxation and entertaining, while the detached garage and off-road parking provide added convenience and storage options. With its appealing location and characterful accommodation, this property presents significant potential for those looking to make their mark. Upon entering through a beautiful stained glass door, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall that leads to the main reception rooms. The lounge features a charming bay window that floods the room with natural light, complemented by a gas coal effect fire that serves as a cozy focal point. At the rear, a second reception room or dining area also boasts a gas coal effect fire and sliding doors that open onto the rear garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The traditional kitchen is functional and offers ample storage and workspace, although it would benefit from some modernisation. This presents an opportunity for the new owner to create their ideal culinary space. Upstairs, the property comprises three bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles and a single that could serve as a home office or nursery. Completing the first floor is a traditional family bathroom featuring a bathtub with a telephone-style shower head and an over-bath thermostatic shower. Outside, the property boasts a good-sized rear garden with a dedicated patio area ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining. The front of the house features a forecourt garden, while the detached garage offers valuable parking or workshop space. This property is offered with no upper chain, making it an attractive option for early viewing.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This semi-detached house on Walney Island offers a well-maintained exterior and a spacious, light-filled living room, making it an appealing choice for families seeking a coastal home. The property features a mature garden that presents a fantastic opportunity for enhancement, along with a detached garage for added convenience.

While the interior shows some dated features, particularly in the kitchen which would benefit from modernisation, the overall condition is good with comfortable bedrooms and a functional bathroom. The asking price of £269,950 is reasonable, but without a specified floor area, the value against local £/sqf cannot be judged yet. This home holds potential for cosmetic updates and improvements, and the lack of upper chain adds to its appeal for prospective buyers.
