Description

This substantial semi-detached house offers a unique opportunity for renovation and modernization, situated on a generous 0.14-acre Freehold plot. The property has served as a family home and now presents the potential for a new owner to remodel and possibly extend, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The accommodation is spacious, featuring an enclosed porch that leads into a welcoming hall. Two separate reception rooms include a front-facing lounge with a bay window and a sizable sitting room. At the rear, the dining room connects to the kitchen, which flows into a large conservatory overlooking the garden. Additionally, there is a convenient ground floor WC. Upstairs, you will find three double bedrooms and a particularly spacious family bathroom equipped with both a separate bath and shower. The property also benefits from a garage extending nearly 20 feet, providing further potential to rethink the existing layout and create a contemporary family home. Outside, there is ample off-road parking available at the front and side of the property, while the established rear garden offers a substantial outdoor space. This character property presents an increasingly rare opportunity for buyers looking to add their personal touch to both the house and its grounds. Offered with no onward chain.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial semi-detached house presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with character and potential. With an asking price of £450,000, which is significantly below the local average at £240/sqf compared to £298/sqf, this home offers a chance to acquire at a value that is hard to find in the current market. The dated interiors and signs of wear throughout the property signal a renovation project that could truly transform the space into a modern family home.

The property boasts generous accommodation, including three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a spacious family bathroom. The established but overgrown garden adds to the charm, while the potential for extension or reconfiguration opens up exciting possibilities for future owners. While the condition is dated, with older fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom, these features provide a blank canvas for renovations that can significantly enhance the property's appeal and value. With the right vision and investment, this house can be turned into a stunning contemporary family residence.

Key opportunities
