Description

This three-bedroom link-detached house presents an excellent opportunity for renovators and investors looking to make a personal mark or capitalize on the area’s strong rental potential. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this property benefits from a family-friendly neighborhood while being conveniently located near essential amenities and schools, including Grove Vale Primary School. The layout includes a welcoming entrance porch that leads into a spacious lounge featuring a staircase and archway to the adjoining dining room with French doors, which opens up to the garden. The kitchen is functional, with built-in pantry space and access to a utility area that was formerly part of the garage, offering versatile options for conversion. The original garage remains with storage space in front, providing additional room for tools or outdoor equipment. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms—each equipped with built-in wardrobes—and a bathroom that includes both a bath and separate shower compartment, all of which can be reimagined in line with modern design preferences. The mature overgrown garden backs onto a canal, presenting not only serene views but also potential for landscaping and development subject to planning permissions. Additionally, the property’s recent central heating installation offers added comfort as renovation plans are considered. Located within easy reach of transport links to major routes like the M6 and M5, alongside proximity to shops at Scott Arms, this property is well-positioned for both family living and future value appreciation. Whether you’re seeking a project to transform into your dream home or an investment target in a sought-after location, this property provides ample scope for improvement while benefiting from its locale's established community feel.
