Description

This two-bedroom mid-terraced house presents a solid opportunity for both first-time buyers and investors looking to capitalize on a property with significant renovation potential. Having been in the hands of a single owner since the 1980s, the home retains an abundance of character features, including high skirting boards, picture rails, and spacious high ceilings that create an inviting atmosphere. Spread across two floors, the layout offers ample space while also allowing for modernization to bring it up to contemporary standards. The ground floor includes an entrance hall with convenient storage options, two distinct reception rooms—ideal for both relaxation and dining—and a kitchen that provides a basic framework for future upgrades. Additionally, there's a ground floor WC for added convenience. Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms offer versatility for living arrangements or guest accommodations, while the bathroom remains functional yet ready for enhancement. The exterior features a private courtyard garden designed for low maintenance, enclosed by charming brick walls that provide both character and seclusion. This outdoor space is conducive to relaxing evenings or small gatherings. Strategically located near the city center, this property benefits from easy access to local amenities and public transport links, making it attractive to potential renters or future buyers if you choose to invest. With no upward chain involved in the sale process, this house is poised for immediate attention and has great scope for those looking to transform it into a modern home or rental property. An internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the full extent of what this property has to offer in terms of size and investment potential.
